trrrrain


pull me away from fridat night people.
drinks after work.
the woman who stepped in front of me at the bus stop
podgy but ready to go
go hiking go out go to the shops for you need some milk
ill go love
get things done woman
no time, push in front of you woman
her trousers were too short for her
they were all part of her characture, as if anything longer in the leg would have got in the way
a throbbing white oblong moving over a dark drey landscape
a landscape split higher up by a slightly lighter grey sky
the bars and the seats reflect out.
project out onto the roadside as it flies past
a ghost moving next to us

a bulbous puppet face, powder white skin
red rimmed eyes and a mouth like a wound, messy.
her legs wrapped over one another
and her
mobile phone buried
deep in her fist
and left, another puppet face
miniature head with straining eyes set between a V
of intense forehead skin
a newspaper over his legs
