Laconia

This man is intermittently rocking against

The thin interior body panel of the bus

My knee feels his every motion

It seems as if he just can't get settled

Something in his life leaves him restless 

He's dressed for contracting labor

His fleece jacket is immaculate his cap

Sports a jungle foliage pattern

Done over in a muted gray and brown color scheme

The label on the adjusting band reads "Yankees"

He coughs the cough of a drywall installer

The outer lobes of his ears seem to have particles blasted into them

He occasionally looks out the window

Then his gaze trails down to his lap
