On the Bus Route to School

I smiled at a mynah today.
There he was, peering up at me from
Below when the double-decker pulled up alongside it.
He cocked his head up, his yellow-ringed eye
Looking at me inquiringly.
I gave him a plastic grin.
He cocked his head to the
Other side, and then, deciding
I was too plebeian for him,
Took flight into the dense foliage.

All these years in uni, and I've never really known the places I passed by every time I took the bus to school. One day, I ought to cycle past all the places on my bus route, and take in the sights. Before corporatism takes over my life.
