Earthquake At The Park

Kids shouting around me
Not a big fuss.
How many more minutes,
Until I catch the bus.
I look around and everyone is gone.
I feel the ground shaking.
I'm pretty sure an earthquake has been born
I see the bus,
It's coming toward me.
I put my hand out,
but it just ignored me
I get a call, from my mum.
Wondering where I am
Telling me to come back home,
I guess I'm taking a tram
