(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.
