I'm assuming you meant to say "Encopada in bus top" or more likely "Encoxada on bus top" or simply "Bus top encoxada".
However, to view the encoxada purely as an accidental result of overcrowding is to ignore its darker, more invasive dimension. The ambiguity of the act is where its tension lies. Is that pressure against one's back a result of the bus driver slamming on the brakes, or is it a calculated move by a predator using the crowd as a veil?

Before diving into the post, let's quickly define what encoxada is. Encoxada is a popular Brazilian street food that consists of grilled corn on the cob slathered with a mixture of butter, salt, and various seasonings.
