(20 minute poetry)
They're either sleeping or they're dead
no heads stuck in iPhones today
no make up being made up on the Central line, take up a collection, let's hear it for the deadpan men.
Even at Mile End they'll come to a bad end but the East End was always like that,
stopping at Bethnal which sounds just like Bedlam especially if you've got a cold, well
it's green and I've seen it so time to roll on.
Liverpool Street
hot dogs
old meat
dont buy one
don't try one
I don't want to die
none of that krap for me,
the Bank
be Frank
it's a cesspit
a tank full of sharks,
hark
to St. Paul's
what big bells
what big halls
(Did I write halls?)
never mind
the ***** fall down in
chancery lane,
who plays tennis anyway in
the royal courts
where only justice is
served?
Holborn is
old and smells of Catholics and
tobacco,
the next stop wil be my stop if I stop off and step off this train
but I could go round again if this was the circle line
but it's the Central Line
Wednesday disappoints so many.
