NOW I’M STANDING ON A PLATFORM:
People stand in front of me,
Too close to be considerate,
I’m pressed against the wall

NOW I’M STANDING ON A PLATFORM:
People stand in front of me,
Too close to be considerate,
I’m pressed against the wall
(K)
NOW I’M ON A NEW TRAIN:
Doors open,It’s cold,I’m ready to leave,You send me pictures,Suggestions
(K)
DOORS OPEN:
The President’s wife smiles at me in Blue and White,
Selling me her new book,
It’ll be a best seller,
It’s obvious
(K)
YOU LEAVE FOR ME TO FIND:
A woman in sheepskin, heels, and bright Red lips,
Wears a fierce metal bar through her nose,
A distant steely stare,
A pile of discarded free-papers shout,
“Landslide!”
(K)
I’M WARM DOWN HERE:
We rock to the rhythm,
Someone sneezes on me reading an electric book,
Now apologies this time
(K)
NOW I’M IN THE UNDERGROUND:
People dressed in Blacks and Browns,
Silence nd noise,
Eyes closed,
Having actual conversations,
I’m amazed
(K)
YOU JUST WOKE UP:
You can tell I’ve got something serious on my mind,
But you don’t know it’s a good thing yet
(K)
BRICKS HOLD THE ROOM DOWN:
Someone weird and crazy falls asleep on me,
What is this?!
The train stops,
You wake up,
Apologise and leave,
Then someone who smells different takes your place
(K)
MOUTHS THAT WHISPER TO THEMSELVES:
For once I don’t want to hear your story,
Moving slow and fast and threatening,
Outside it’s wet and freezing,
Don’t fall in the water!
(K)
RHYTHMS BEATEN ON POCKETS FULL OF CHANGE:
Conversations you want to engage me in,
I don’t reciprocate,
Heaven sighs,
Smells
(K)
