About the resource

“The longest relationship I have ever been in has been with the public transportation system...Thank you to ever Black bus driver who got me home safe. Thank you to every brown bus driver who got me home safe...Automobile of the movement...Thank you to every bus driver...who saw in me a daughter, who let me write this poem in the ride home, in the rain."
