Underground (Part 25 to 27)

by Andy N

NB. Three more haikus about the Underground

 

25

Northern train at stop

Pauses like it is watching

You walk your two dogs.

 

26

 

Getting hotter and

Hotter, it feels like the train

Is overheating too.

 

27

 

Pausing for breath

The guard wakes up the girl

For her ticket home.

On My Way.

by C Boulton

All black, on galleons, 
walk surf, breathing.
Maybe some cars, 
maybe phrases.
