The train left Pentonville
station at seven AM heading
North East ;
Pullman booked
Nil baggage
Top bunk
Empty of junk
Night train
Momentum bounds
Dry of sounds
Cept the birds
Successive waves
With undertow
Moving yet sweeping
Into tumbledown
Falling deeper
Not lower not higher
Wide of the mark
Not dark not light
I have seven minus two
Alive with five
Adjust expectations
Keeping foundations
Into nothing
Popcorn in a dish
Every cell expands
Reaching outer limits
My mind my anchor
Gravity my hold
My brain translator
My pen my language
Look and listen
Right to be heard
Remains the herd
Then why ?
