every day was different
the old man at the gate
waved at trains as they passed;
the eight thirty was late,
the eight ten was a fast ..
waved at trains as they passed;
the eight thirty was late,
the eight ten was a fast ..

flashing images
chap on the train says, “who
are you staring at?” but since at the time I was looking at a field of cows, as I turned around he’d moved on

yes it is
we’ve been catching the same train for the past twenty years.
I’ve seen you age, I’ve seen the
books you’ve read, never exchanged a word; not until today, when an unscheduled stop
outside crayford suddenly prompted you to glance at me and say, “how very strange.”

alone with my book, I smile
the rumble of a train in
the dark sounds more beautiful than a nightingale
the dark sounds more beautiful than a nightingale

use the tube with a certain amount of reticence, although unfortunately not enough, he says, I can't breathe ..

MIDNIGHT TRAIN AWAY FROM PAIN
It's said if your plate's full to get a bigger one
If life was that easy it would always be fun
The Sun doesn't shine bright each & everyday
Things won't consistently go our merry way
Pendulums sway from blissful to melancholy
They don't hold back punches from anybody
Attacking the holy, the worldly & the wicked
At some point in time we'll all get afflicted
There are no tickets for the midnight train
Even in Georgia you'll endure some pain
Just have to try to maintain through it all
Looking for silver lining...
If life was that easy it would always be fun

At some point in time we'll all get afflicted
There are no tickets for the midnight train
Even in Georgia you'll endure some pain
Just have to try to maintain through it all

Silence of the student
A whistle and the carriage dims
bleeding power to the drive.
I’m inside buttoned to the neck
checking messages like the rest,
without glasses on predictive text
wondering what I might say next.
The city's concrete stalagmites
erode away to shadow shows,
bedrooms flicked on page curl corners
above the derelict spray can walls,
Gazza loves Shaz and Shaza wos ere,
primitive scrawl won station of the year
in 1974.
I watch each window and hope to glimpse
bare flesh or at least something less
mundane than a...

paddington is a railway station,
