The Giants Breakfast

The bus is like a human sardine can. Elbow to elbow, face to back and back to face. The air is warm, damp and floating with this seasons most fashionable flus. The driver is brake happy today, making the sardines jolt about in the tin can. It's like there is a giant shaking his sardine can with quick repetitive jerks to ensure the oil is spread evenly all over his juicy, salty sardines. It repeats the entire length of George Street. Obviously this giant really wants to make sure his tiny fish are shiny and moist. Every last one. I'm almost at Circular Quay and the jolts and jerks still continue. Surely the giant must be starving by now?
