Island to Mainland

Now the sweltering heat is past the westbound sun nears home at last; Wailing busboys sell their routes dangling from thier jalopies port. Now and again the crowd grows thin The hulks of metal are fed and crammed Shoulder to shoulder, back to knee With willing homegoers who survive the ordeal Cash is passed from hand to hand Balance and change is bickered about While Rolling fast over the bridge- the wind through the Windows comfort the lot- Who Like the sun all homeward bound. When in darkness they all touch ground Happy limbs uncramped to ease a bit and sleep tonight; Then just like the the sun thats gone bound to repeat the toil again.
