Train Passing
Looking down at my feet on the cold grey tiles , the tips of my shoes edging closer towards the yellow line , i can read the text stencilled on the ground although like the scramble of thoughts in my head these words make no sense to me .
I hear a tremble coming from the tunnel up the tracks . Lights gleaming brighter as they make their way towards the station , I blankly stare as they approach , Paralyzed by the thought of ending it all .
A train passes the platform on its express journey to the stadium , the wind from the carriage hits my face like punch to the cheek . I...

Waitin’ At The Station
You got rain, people, posters, trains, beetles, holsters, rain again
The band spittin’ out rainbows
The blues playing the blues
You got crowds in and out
All in a hurry or patient but going somewhere
Sun did the same depending on time of day and type of
Cloud took suns shine today
Sun wasn’t around to defend itself
Rain again
But that’s okay
Blues plays like I said before and I had to mention it again because oh did them blues play
No one seemed to notice but I barely noticed everyone not noticing because of
Don’t they hear them...
The band spittin’ out rainbows
The blues playing the blues
You got crowds in and out
All in a hurry or patient but going somewhere
Sun did the same depending on time of day and type of
Cloud took suns shine today
Sun wasn’t around to defend itself
Rain again
But that’s okay
Blues plays like I said before and I had to mention it again because oh did them blues play
No one seemed to notice but I barely noticed everyone not noticing because of

some rhymes
chilling with the flow
on the road to oslo
perhaps ill meet my hoe
get the 44
unlock the door
for the shit show
ive been chilling in the mind tow
row row row my boat
lead to gun tote
with the long coat
while the rope copes
on the insects neck
the rekt sekt in check
with defect prospect
on the road to oslo
perhaps ill meet my hoe

but he didn’t see why
he disembarked at the appointed station and glanced around him were a large number of people
struggling with their bags to board the train in which he’d just left his spectacles in the carriage ..

The Train Assist
It's Christmas eve,
Im waiting alongside
the RR tracks,
tucked away, and
a far distance from
the bustles of December.
The snow is quiet,
there are gobs of robins
looking for berries
as my company kept,
like little holiday
shoppers packed
in and around the thickets,
singing Carol of the Bells,
Joyous, I suddenly hear
the toll of the giant
rolling toward the coordinates,
I look up to see the
Locomotive bending
around the steel rails,
slow to an end,
...

Out there
beyond Dr Watson's Lane,
and the allotments and the willow hair
toward silos and private woodland
take a left,
walk the length
of it's breadth as if it was
a crown upon your heel,
follow the hill like a heartbeat
down toward Playford,
sink into a wash
of pink plaster rows,
railway at your hip,
glimmering bright red,
watch them pass and flash,
as if they were to kiss,
one off to Woodbridge,
other back again,
let little drizzle mist your features,
the ones aged and wisened,
over the tracks, ...

The Buttonholes
Remember me
in the morning
as if the ground
of the city
disappeared
under your feet.
Let your gaze stay
in the upper left drawer
amid the cutlery.
Make it look like
you've forgotten a detail
when the train doors open.

you still occasionally see
someone on a train reading a book instead of looking at their phone was all that it took ..

1 Mississippi, 2 Mississippi
Rising from the dust of chalk,
1 Mississippi, 2 Mississippi,
and 1 frigging bag of Cheetos.
Who gives a rhinoceros?
Ask the fool,
who Thomas Jefferson was?
He can't recite the Pledge of Allegiance
but he knows how many chicken wings
are in a bushel, that Peter Piper picked.
With his one tooth, he looks like Ollie Dragon
and his bottle of Jack Daniels is dry.
Jesus lives in Mexico and Rooster Cogburn is the guy.
1 Mississippi, 2 Mississippi,
and 1 frigging bag of Cheetos.
That's all folks! ...

Dreams I have Known
Lost souls of dreams they have known
eating tuna fish from Tupperware
clinging to walls of loneliness
waiting for shit to hit the fan
claiming they are misunderstood
as they play the lottery
getting lost in porn and comic books
eating tuna fish from Tupperware
eating tuna fish from Tupperware
clinging to walls of loneliness
waiting for shit to hit the fan
claiming they are misunderstood
as they play the lottery
getting lost in porn and comic books

lines written around northhampton
it’s that awful realisation, when you see the name of the next station, that you’ve caught the wrong train
