"Brief Bus Stop", a poem/song by Ani Difranco included in her album "not so soft" (1991)

Would you like to listen to a fine example of why Art is the most powerful tool to reach people?, to transform the world? If you let go, if you "enter" this performance, this song, you'll feel all of its power... Enjoy the trip!

What is she saying poetically, through metaphor and feeling?
Which social issues is she raising explicitly?
