London Bridge Platform - 8:16
in school it was only the cool
kids who could manage the shades
the smoke perfectly poised
for seduction each stubbing
pressed hard by the painphere people wait quietly
and while they wait, smoke
their own cigarettes, politely
extinguishing for the tannoy
not the trainthere they still form perfect circles
within circles
wait for the bell
and then wait
