Rastafarian perches on a BT wiring cab
Slapping dark green metal and screaming
Obscenities in Patois and nonsense
Alone.
Passersby stare; shrieking oldies;
laughing kids;
bewildered Neil;
and I
Sit drinking, taking it all in
Alone.

As part of 'View from...', a collection of observational poetic experiments, whereby I allow myself five minutes to finish a poem regarding my surroundings at that time.
