SPARE DRIVER
Picture courtesy www.journals.worldnomads.com
A few minutes
After we left the station,
Driver parked the bus
On the road shoulder.
Signaled a gentleman
Idling under the mango tree,
He took his place behind
The wheel and we were
Off again,
A few protested,
The lot looked on unconcerned.
We were nearly past the
Railtracks,
BANG!!!!!!!!
He killed me,
You,
He killed all but himself,
Spare driver.
Spare driver (informal, Ghanaian) – A term used to describe one who operates a commercial vehicle whenever the driver responsible for that particular vehicle is unable to do so for some reason.
