(20 minute poetry)


Stood up?
I have been, but this time I gave my seat up and stood up.

It's a long way to go when you're stood and you know there are eight stations left before you get to your stop.

I count down and spit out the stations I leave believing it will bring me good luck,
Does it?
Does it ***
I'm still on my feet at Liverpool street
Nearer to home
tired to the bone
But I am nearly there.

I've just referred some **** to the sign that says that, this is a 'Priority seat'
By Bethnal green, stood up though I've been I now have a seat by the window, no view, and there's sod all I can do about that.
