The Transit Orchestra
The transit orchestra is a beauty to behold
Buses twine past one another effortlessly
Giving way to their invisible strings of movement
Drums of beat and beats of rest
A horn sounds, a whistle blows, feet patter, a person yells
The transit orchestra is a beauty to behold
This odious noise of beautiful music
The conductor’s come to check the flow
Giving way to their invisible strings of movement
Trains pull up, people push in
The trackless trolley snaps in line
The transit orchestra is a beauty to behold
The bus is here folks funnel and push
Swipe, clink, beep you have paid for your seat
Giving way to invisible strings of movement
Quick now sit down, pull off
No longer a spectator at this orchestra ball
The transit orchestra is beauty to behold
A part of the spectacle we have become
Swaying our way through the buses to street
Giving way to their invisible strings of movement
The transit orchestra is a beauty to behold
