You survived! I cringe at the risks I took earlier in my life. The bus, that’s scary!

I love this poem because of several different things. My favorite part is the music made by loose screws!

We all have a few loose screws. I'm surprised to have made it this far. I love how you wove in the loose screws on the bus and brought it all together.

Loose Screws is an interesting concept to write about. Truth be known, we all have our own loose screws we've dealt with during our lifetime. In my case, none of them are pretty. You have been out of my feed for some time and I've missed reading your poetry. Glad to see you back!

Thank you, C.J., it’s nice to hear from you. Your latest piece on the wave seeking the water is very in tune with what I’ve been feeling of late, which also informed this poem.

Thank you for your kind words, Jonathan. I’m glad I found you again —I always enjoyed your humor and style in your writings. I hope you’re here to stay and Substack doesn’t hiccup again.
