There's a fan,
not one of
mine,
but the one on the tube
blowing a gale on the
Jubilee Line.

Wishing it was
' knocking off time '
and going back home
feeling fine.

It's just the early morning ennui
the thought that the day is
against me,
it'll pass.

Lady with electric red locks
shocks me awake
when she sees what I'm writing
and says,
' for goodness sake '

can't please them all  
so I don't even try.

I could have been a model
who said,
' T ?'
