| The tube in London: Standing on the cold platform with the other warm bodies Self aware, nervous, watching for terrorists hopefully With comic-strip captions pointing them out or flashing arrows Paddington arrives with a screech and jerk Sad souls leak off the train and new ones Merge in stand grasping greasy bar Jerk into a nice ride Stare at multi-colored tube map Make eye contact with riders But not too long God is there watching Clacking and dark grime flying by The depths of hell Riding to new highs New sensations Out-of-control roller coaster The recorded voice of a calm English woman With beautiful diction announcing Each impending stop We will never see these people again They will never see us Unless they look I do I see myself No better, no worse Just living for answers A bit of truth in the eyes You could ride this train All day in a Circle |
