18 – Condom Bus

January 6, 1993 – San Francisco

A man in his bathrobe, on a freezing wet day, in a North Beach alley, digs himself out, where 8 barrels of trash, were dumped.

Later the same day…Kids ride the bus.

11-year-olds.

A condom packet fumbles to the floor.

The kids scramble for their treasure and say, “Shit this, shit that, **#&#”

A baby is standing on the seat looking back, facing the kids, watching wide-eyed, while mom faces forward.

Baby absorbs the curses.

Kids laugh at the baby watching them.

Baby laughs at their laughter.

And round and round it goes…

Eventually someone grows up.

We just don't find out who it is during this short bus ride.
