(NB. Three more haikus on the Underground)

28

Asleep on the seat

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.

(I)

Out of tune busker
Pausing for a few moments
Opens up a beer.

(II)

Pausing for its breath
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)

Stepping from the mist

You feel like you are stepping

From a dark film noir.

(V)

Pausing suddenly

you think briefly ...

Leaving no trace your

Feet disappear suddenly

In the midnight air.
