Here I Am Ready To Catch The Last Train
I do not believe this!
Here I am ready to
catch the last train
home and it left the
station before I got
the chance to get
on that locomotive!

Tunnels
Having sunk to the bottom, to the trains,
you manage to get into the last car,
and stand against the window;
starts dancing overboard.
But it’s not the seams of the tunnel that flash,
but it’s not the networks of wires that run,
take a closer look - this is how time passes,
take a closer look - this is how the years fly.
And already in the dark reflection,
a larger-sized silhouette stands,
it’s good that you can’t see how
painful it is.
It's good that flickering
behind dark glass erases...
you manage to get into the last car,
and stand against the window;
starts dancing overboard.
But it’s not the seams of the tunnel that flash,

take a closer look - this is how the years fly.
And already in the dark reflection,
a larger-sized silhouette stands,
it’s good that you can’t see how
painful it is.
It's good that flickering
behind dark glass erases...

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
Don’t they hear them...

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 ..

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.

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

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

the chap on the train asks me if it stops at woolwich.
I say no, mate, it gets even worse ..
