The impatience fulfilled
By the opening of the doors;
The complex walk of persecution
To the favourite seat.
The inspection given for what is worn
To conclude how you are by the people opposite;
The pretence not to notice,
And to take a look at the map
Above the window.
Impatience sets in for brief seconds;
Along way to go
The maps reckoning;
The train's on its way.
Cigarette ends decorate the floor;
A tramp's free ride
Living it high on a bottle of wine;
Singing a drunks lullaby.
Long faces dominate;
Young kids write poems and graffiti on the walls
To accentuate their fun:
All classes have their place
In the same space in the carriage.
Looking at each person individually,
Seeing the kind of life they lead.
Destination has come for me
To leave the social abbreviations of the train.
Brilliant - love this - it's so true !
