Buses are soft to the touch especially if you take them between the thighs and caress
them with both hands, from the head towards the tail, from the engine towards the platform. But when you find yourself on this platform, then you perceive something
rougher and harsher which is the bar or hand-rail, and sometimes something rounder
and more elastic which is a buttock. Sometimes there are two of these and then you
put the sentence into the plural. You can also take hold of a tubular, palpitating object
that disgurgitates idiotic sounds, or even a utensil with plaited spirals that are softer
than a rosary, silkier than barbed wire, more velvety than rope, and slenderer than a
cable. Or your finger can even touch human clottishness, slightly viscous and gummy
on account of the heat.
Then if you are patient for an hour or two, in front of a bumpy station you can dip
your tepid hand into the exquisite freshness of a vegetable ivory button which is not
in its right place.
