I rode the bus to work this morning. Since 1992 the King County Metro has sponsored a poetry contest; the winny entries appear on the interior of their buses. The contest is called appropriately enough Poetry On Buses. The theme for 2005 was Self Portrait. I read and re-read this poem on the way to work this morning and really liked it.
Rust
Let it go, just let me go.
You've built a vessel, let it float.
Let it rust, let me live.
Iron can't rust without some air.
-Jane Minifie, 12th grade
