Traffic Starts Jumpin'

1/4/15

I'm on a crowded bus it's raining. The bus

starts to ascend a steep ramp en route 

to an enormous bridge. This makes me somewhat nervous. 

 In the back of the bus by the bathroom, 

a drag queen dressed as Dolly Parton strums her guitar. 

I suggest we start a singalong. Dolly 

plays "Nine To Five" and the whole bus sings the first 

verse and the chorus. We get to the 

second verse and no one seems to know the words.     

We repeat the first verse but we totally 

fuck it up; we're "out on the street" where the traffic 

jumping before we "jump in the shower 

and the blood starts pumping." No good.

Drag queen Dolly stops playing and, ever resourceful, 

writes the words to the second verse on a sheet of poster 

board, and we continue singing. We 

make it across the bridge, and my anxiety has passed.
