(20 minute poetry)

The first service is expected if you expect such things at 06:34,
is this what Thursday is?
more
to the point
do we expect it to be?

so now I'm on the jubilee line
having what you might call a
waste of some time.

Not overly fond of Bond Street, (too much bling)
but the tube'll bring me to there
where I will wait in the frost of this cold Thursday air and catch a bus,

going or getting to work is a lot of work these days
everyone wants more pay
less responsibility
whatever happened to
flexibility?

I'll get there eventually.

In the meantime
on
the jubilee line
watching the scenery.
