to better swerve

traffic cops in Rome have special uniforms.
high leather equestrian boots,
white tall helmets like dessert legionnaires.
one stopped our bus in the center of Rome

hopped aboard to hitch a ride
up three stops on Via del Corso.
he was knocking off early,
or had hot shopping to do.

anyway,
viva the good guys.
may they hop a bus
anytime.

Hi Jack,
I love your title, and the vivid picture you create of the traffic cop "hijacking" your bus; but as you say, you didn't mind- he's one of the good guys.
