Neat

by Stephen Gospage

Sitting on the train,

Neat houses flash by.

But life is not neat,

Though houses may be.

 

Behind those neat walls

Lurk furious hearts,

Unleashed as soon as

The train disappears.

 

These airtight dramas

Lie far from our minds.

We keep our heads down.

Our neat lives go on.
