Riding the bus again - after a long winter of Hank the sinus infection

The usual cast of characters were waiting for me:

Paper clip man -
            he smokes cigarettes and marijuana
            His left nostril always has a bent paper clip sticking out of it

She's in her 80's and works at McDonald's
             She rides the 11 bus
             Buys her cigarettes at Sentryz
             Dyed blonde hair
             Mixed matched clothes which some how work
             Broadway and University is her McDonalds

Deaf guy
             Talks to himself in ASL
              Usually talks to me about Christianity
                with gestures to his crucifix

Dusty
              Holds a phone to his ear and has conversations
              Thoughtful conversations with appropriate gestures
               Sometimes he puts the phone down
               The conversation continues

Brown skin woman
             Adorned with layers of colors
              Bags
              Rings
              Bracelets
              Sun Glasses
              Necklaces
              Ever present pristine painted nails

Aubrey and her Mom
              Aubrey has moved from baby to
                  4 year old Aubrey knowing who she is
              Mom cajoles, sings to, pleads to walk faster
              The bus is coming
              Time to go
