Architectural salvage
It's a why me day
and why Friday?
why am I squeezed into
a tube train?
what am I doing here and
why me again?
The scallywag opposite is
chatting up a young ' Judy '
I think he
is on a losing wicket.
I like the old guy in
combat trousers
he obviously knows
that battle is about
to commence.
Another young man
with a backpack on
that's falling apart,
which makes nonsense
of its logo
' Powerfix '
and I can see a small piece
of an advertisement poster,
'100% recyclable'
and aren't we all
I think.
The problem is
I think too much
maybe
it's time to dumb down
try to fit in
try the gym
try some gin
try to begin
sometimes
I should slap myself quiet.
Done
and some say
he should be
some day
I will be
but today
I'll wonder
Why me
and go on my way.
