that few public phones work
when you are trying to phone where you left your mobile.
that nine hours on trains with six changes
does not lead to poetry gold
that living a dawn and dusk working day
is not a reason to love the Romantics
that it is easy to be forgotten
when you don’t break bread with real poets
that singing aloud in First class is frowned on
even if in tune
that the innocent granny on her second bottle of wine
can still knit with clicking needles
