The Vines
from Highly Evolved
2002
An ode to the private school bus riders of Abington Township, 2003-2007.
To all those who squished into the yellow buses on cheap leather seats and sat in silence on the way to school each day, we salute you. We were the kids confused by car commercials in which parents bought their teenage sons and daughters new cars. We filed in with Walkman CD players in hand. We salute the fact that hormones mean nothing when you're that sleep-deprived, even when you all go to separate single-gender schools and this is the only time you're going to be in the presences of the opposite sex all day. Who needs heavy petting in the back of the bus when you can sit in the middle and fall asleep to Highly Evolved? Not me. Not us. May our days on that long journey not soon be forgotten.
