Like the confluence
of rivers 
the junction is a 
confluence of four routes  
where hundreds gather 
for multiple purposes. 
One is reminded of a 
market
but no, the junction is 
not a market.
One day he too
reached the junction 
after traversing a long way 
rooted like a statue 
he stood there 
looked around several times
to watch the milling crowd. 
Whether to return to the 
place where he came from 
or catch a bus to 
anywhere 
he was on the horns of
a dilemma.
While pondering over 
various options 
he saw a red face 
speeding along from the 
south to the north 
no second thoughts
decided he to board it.
The bus screeched to a 
halt near him
he board it 
within seconds with a 
tremor and
the bus sped along.
Where to get down,
no idea 
he told the conductor 
to give him a ticket to 
where the bus reaches
its destination point.
Reclining comfortably in
his seat 
he looked outward 
enjoyed the landscapes 
until he started snoring
in his sleep.
