“Mama, I know you used to ride the bus. Riding the bus and itâ€™s hot and bumpy and crowded and too noisy and more than anything in the world you want to get off and the only reason in the world you donâ€™t get off is itâ€™s still fifty blocks from where youâ€™re going? Well, I can get off right now if I want to, because even if I ride fifty more years and get off then, itâ€™s the same place when I step down to it. Whenever I feel like it, I can get off. As soon as Iâ€™ve had enough, itâ€™s my stop. Iâ€™ve had enough.”
