Hiya 🙂
Train Cast History Meat Yummy Lush Pin Versed False
I stood on that platform
Free but burdened,
Thought about things
Once forbidden;
And I wasn’t as nervous
As you’d probably think
I should have been.
I boarded the train,
Cast a look about me
Aware that I was
Making history here –
But not really present.
I could smell meat,
Someone’s yummy lunch in a bag;
Prompting me to wonder
What I’d have for mine.
Some lush was starting early:
Drinking on a weekday
From a tall McDonald’s cup.
This was so different
From when I’d pulled the pin
And watched the fallout;
Because, this far down the track,
I kind of realised
That no matter how well-versed our greeting
All interaction would be false.
As, later, we sat on wobbly chairs –
Sucking rubbish hot beverages
Through thin plastic lids –
I wondered why I kept smiling;
Why I let her talk to him like that,
Why I hugged them…?
Why I’d needed
this
at all?
My subconscious is back, making me examine things I didn’t think I wanted to today.
I remember that Pink’s Great Escape came on my Spotify playlist shuffle as the train doors shut behind me, too. I could attribute that to many people I miss, cosmic synchronicity or some other grand force – suffice it to say that it made me smile.
I have always had that small assured voice in my head, and a feisty part in my heart that has saved me so far.
She gets really bored with the amount of times I cry, eventually boots me up the a**e, and takes over for a while.
She gets me a haircut and colour, pens my poetry without me, demands a dancefloor, and also tampers with my playlist quite a lot 😉
