What if they weren't sorry?
what if the inconvenience they cause  was deliberate?
what if this break or pause in service is what they intend?

We get used to inequality
and
if it doesn't bother you
why would it bother me?

but why not ask why?
or do we live just to die
in ignorance?

They're half asleep on this train
looking inward,
shadows
heavy under heavier eyes
more whys to think about.

and more noise from the tannoy,the old boy grumbles as the tube rumbles on.

We're not sorry for any inconvenience caused!
that's the truth of it when we're carried like cattle through the underground and the bit that worries me are the things we do not hear but can plainly see,
if they're fooling me why would you think they're not fooling you?
