Poetry: Subway commute

by Tom Glover

Created on: August 11, 2010

Space full of fuss


A train full of people

A tube full of trains

Welcome aboard as commuters take aim


Barge past the hump with the positive test

Stamp on the toes of the tramp you detest

Bound to a seat as an old lady slips

Ignoring the ‘crack!’ of the alternative hip


Shuffle around and play with your vest

Gargle with coffee then cough through your chest

Choose to forget the horror-struck glance

Your armpits are itchy so don’t waste the chance


A train full of people

Just space full of fuss

Maybe tomorrow I’ll just take the bus
