The Daily School Bus: now they roll through my dreams
I have begun to dream about school buses. The first dream I recall came to me three nights ago. I was driving down the frontage road to the Parks Highway as it comes down the hill into Wasilla from the little mini-mall that houses Machaus Macintosh computer store and Sakura Sushi. It was dusk. From out of the dim glow of the fading sky a pair of headlights emerged and fell in close behind me. It was a school bus. Then another bus turned onto the road at the top of the hill and got in line behind the first bus. Both followed me down the hill. The next time I slept, I dreamed I was driving down a neighborhood road and saw a school bus pulled off the road. As I drew near I saw there was another bus beyond it and another beyond that and another beyond it... a line of school buses as far as I could see, all of them just sitting still at the side of the road.
I remember dreaming last night, but I can't remember anything specific.
As for this bus, I came upon it just a little bit ago about to cross the overpass to Fort Richardson as I drove to Anchorage to pick up Margie from her week of babysitting. I have now pulled into the driveway to the blue house. I will go inside and get her.
