A Bit Of Something I Am Working On

She dropped her bag on the floor
and plopped all 95 pounds
of her body into the seat next to me.
She had a smell of cigarettes,
day old Gee Your Hair Smells Terrific
and bus toilet sanitizer.
She had just smoked a cigarette,
washed her hair
in some bus station bathroom the day before
and, as far as the toilet smell,
if you use the bus toilet
while rolling down the great american highway
you will have that lingering smell
until your next chance
to wash your clothes.
