The bus driver yelled and stopped me.
He looked as if i was putting a bomb in the luggage compartment.
But why? I asked. It's just a bike.
No, you can only put luggage in the luggage compartment. No bicycles.
But why? It's a folded bike.
No, it is against company policy. Ask the Company.
The bus door closed on me.
I mused and realized that the bus driver mustn't see the bomb.
I went into a shop and bought a pack of black, oversized garbage bags.
I covered the folded bike with a garbage bag and waited for the next bus.
I've got luggage.
The bus driver nodded and I opened the luggage compartment.
I put the bomb in the garbage bag into the luggage compartment.
And I boarded the bus.
As the bomb ticked, I mused again.
Bike under cover, bomb in compliance.
I realized how hideous a crime we are committing,
By compliance.
We became blind.
We turned amoral.
We called ourselves the good people.
Obedient to noble rules we ourselves made up,
Bombing each other into oblivion.
No of course it's not a bike,
Just a bomb.
OK, get on board.
