“You sure are nosy.”
I was told as a child.
Naive, not knowing
I was in a place
where you don’t ask questions.
What parent
would be so heedless
as to drop me there?

While the school buses in the U.S. look charming, they also look completely outdated and not exactly up to 21st century emission standards!

The yellow American school bus might just be as iconic as the yellow New York City taxi.

It’s quite interesting what the postcard evoked as a verse. Powerful, and troubling, yet hopefully cathartic. As an aside, the dated America-centric vibe in the postcard is notable since yellow is of course a universally-recognized colour to draw the attention of the inattentive in matters of safety.

Steve, yes, it was cathartic, as I had never considered the aspect beyond feeling hurt and wrong at the time until now. Now that it’s “resolved” it can be released back to star dust.

P.S. just curious, what makes this postcard have a “dated America-centric vibe”?

The postcard is interesting and kind of catchy as the buses look relatively new, yet the card design looks ‘60s.
The vibe came across through the card’s implication that the colour of the bus is unique to America, when of course the colour/design is ubiquitous.
