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

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

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

london bridge station
the old tunnels through which
we used to walk are no
longer accessible and even the nearby cafe has closed
down, apparently, to progress ..

for a while I went off the rails
I like trains, or at least I
did
before the pandemic,
and I’m beginning to again; pray let
me start again, I’m a railway alcoholic
