It's the travelling that's wearing,
constantly moving from here,
going there,

I'm being whittled away from the boots, moving on,
every trip's absolutely necessary for peace of mind and to increase my glossary, but the gluttony or surfeit of miles on the road's such a load to bear,
worn away like the mountain
I am tumbling slowly to ground.

I am learning my letters though and the alphabet flows rapidly into crashing words that enrapture me and I'm learning a new glossary,
that's the plus.

The downside is I'm being downsized,
I realised that.
This began as a 20 minute poetry on the tube going to Stratford, but I accidentally touched the wrong part of the screen and it went into 'post' mode.
Anyway I'm going to leave it as it is because I'm not sure if I would have added more to it or not.
