"Jett Bus" by Charlie Perricelli
As we leave for the bus, Amman is quiet,
As the door to the bus opened, the rest of Jordan did too,
Zooming down the desert highway, towards a beautiful sunset,
We stop, we climb, we watch, we sleep,
imagining the crossings of those before us,
an ancient land, full of the history of ancient travels,
ancient traders and merchants, and now us too.
Charlie Perricelli is a student at Villanova University and studied abroad on Amideast’s Intensive Arabic Program in Jordan in the Summer, 2024.
