Bus Stop

Got to the bus stop
it helps us survive a night
track that fits these vibes
NOTE FROM THE AUTHOR:
Illustration description: A shadowy, nighttime scene. The words of the haiku sit top and center in pale Comic Sans MS Italic font. The background appears to be a dingy abandoned bus station full of derelict buses, though the darkest parts of the space blend with the night sky outside, so that the clouds and stars appear also to occupy the space. The moon peaks up through the clouds on the right. Green moonlight seems to shine through the roof of the structure and off the metal surfaces of buses and the concrete floor. In the foreground, left of center, an elderly man in a black sweatshirt and brown pants crouches on the ground, looking downward and holding a bag of chips in his left hand. Nearby, to the right of center, a dark-haired young woman in torn socks and jeans wearing a pale, long-sleeve shirt sits on the ground. Her left foot is crossed over her right so that her left knee is up and her right knee rests on the ground. Her left elbow rests on her right knee as she appears to bite her nails, her expression preoccupied and unsure. She appears to be much larger in size than the elderly man, the difference made all the more surreal by the fact that neither seems to notice. To the left of the man, a record player appears to be phasing into the scene in a ghostly manner, not sitting on the ground and not entirely a solid object, the most shadowy parts blending into the background.
