(20 minute poetry)

Friday is a good day
a day to say goodbye day
to the week that went before.

no tears for me
happiness sets me free
yes
Friday is a good day.

Even now when the tube train's full
I can feel the pull of
Saturday.

and I see the gleams of
weekend dreams in
my fellow passengers
eyes.

We're all explorers on a trail
underground
networked by rail

I fail to see a reason not to smile
and that goes in the file of things
I haven't seen.

Short of nuclear annihilation
there's nothing to do
but
get off this train
at Tottenham Court
which is a station and
not a court
not in Tottenham either.

the best thing
is
the birds tweet
some can't sing
I hear them
anyway

and it's a good day
Friday.
