214

I always take line 214
It´s one of the few London bus lines with a small bus.
It´s not a double-decker, not even a bendy-bus, with its bellows in the middle.
It´s not like the 253, or the 88, or the C2, the central line, coming from Oxford Circus.
Whenever I take line 214 I always think about the driver.
Doesn´t he envy the other lines?
Does he silence a strange desire every morning, when turning the engine on?
And at dusk, does he go home full with a sense of emptiness? Thinking of all the times he met the central line today.
This man driving me through the streets of London aboard the small 214.
