Stayed on the bus too long

I lost—thought I could get closer
than the library, stayed
on past the admin building,
back down the hill to my beginning,
the driver’s second-to-last stop.
I have to walk now,
through the wind and sun, past
traffic moving merrily along
taking their own gambles
staying on or getting off
too soon.
