Underground (Part 28 to 30)

(NB. Three more haikus on the Underground)

 

28

He only just wakes up

Before it leaves.

 

29

As the taxi beeps

Outside he tells himself this

Can’t keep happening

 

 

30

Guitar in his case

The busker offers the tramp

Some of his coffee.

Underground Part 1 to 6

(I)

The train can’t look back turning
Away from the guard.

(III)

Getting off the train
You almost turn back round to
Get straight back on it.

(IV)

You feel like you are stepping

From a dark film noir.

 

(V)

Pausing suddenly

Disappearing in the midnight air across the meadows

Leaving no trace your

Feet disappear suddenly

In the midnight air.
