The Last Bus Driver

Doors close at fifty past. I've decided not to hear footsteps running up behind me.

• The Lighthouse KeeperAnd yet yesterday you sat there a full thirty seconds.
  The Last Bus DriverWarming the heater.
• The Young ConstableIsn't that against the dispatch schedule?
  The Last Bus DriverGet on, or don't.

One ticket left over again today. I don't throw away a ticket that was cut but never used.

• The Diner GrannyWhy don't you throw it away.
  The Last Bus DriverIn case someone rides next time.
• The Young ConstableThat should be reported as a lost item.
  The Last Bus DriverGo ahead and report it, then.
