Day Trip to Espinel

from highlands on curves,
pumping the brakes

down to the capital
rumbles the bus,
coughs at the roadside houses
diesel vapors and burps

to highlands across fields of pine, palm and bamboo
...the passengers gaze at their lives

time brings us recall
at 45 miles both ways
soon enough, we'll arrive in the terminal
two ladies have yapped the entire agenda
