the rainbow five bus is a uni student's best friend. cheap and easy transport to and from nottingham, always an interesting platform for people watching.
and sometimes you are surprised by what you see...

chador on the rainbow five
i was startled to see
at the savoy cinema stop,
a man followed by a woman
in a black chador.
she didn't speak to the driver:
the man bought her ticket for her,
and i saw it in her eyes as she passed me--
it was fear.
not the fear of a woman oppressed.
no, not at all.
she pleaded with the world instead:
"don't judge me."
