Experiencing Interruptions?

the other day on the bus

A poem adaptation based on the text "the other day on the bus" from "Larks outside the window" by Adrienne Brehmer

Adrienne Brehmer, born 1968 in Koblenz, Germany, grew up in Bonn, worked for WDR after a stay in New York. She lives as a freelance writer and book author in Cologne. In 2008, she debuted with the leporello Hinter den Bergen (Poems and Word Games) at van Aaken Verlag. Since then, she has published numerous stories and poems in anthologies, literary magazines and radio broadcasts. She founded a reading series as a stage for experimental literature and is an exhibitor at art book fairs. Openness to related arts informs the pictorial, performative language of her lyrical prose as well as collaborative projects.

the other day on the bus

the night connected you and me. You stretched a huge, invisible tent over us. The rain was hitting the windows. We sat in the very back. We were going to Prague, or somewhere else. Doesn't matter, really.

(c) 2014 Adrienne Brehmer
