London sweats

Perspiration pin stripes
commuting
I have been loving today.

Standing bodies
glad I am sitting
silent tube
silent train.

I pass the Olympic site
for 2012
Bulldozerville
in four years time
Sportsville
30 minutes from home!

I see a beautiful human
a young Moslem woman
Calvin Klien hi-jab
legs covered
face not
I am pleased to say.
Stylish outfit in black and white
Trad but Trendy
I love to see beauty
on view
but not flaunted.

Ali talked about his Islamic faith today
What a great man
Lucas, of Indian origin, talked about
his Catholic faith
so open-so beautiful.

When the adrenalin stopped
I felt exhausted
slept on my first underground train home.

BenjiB so beautiful

I like seeing the sun on a face.
Shafts through the window
falls on different humans around me
falls on the rich
falls on the poorest
the attractive and the worn.
Next time you see
a shaft of sun through a window
see where it highlights
imagine ....................

Asleep on the central line
woken regularly by my nodding head.
Felt some refreshment
as the train rolls through an urban landscape.
I regret every stop.
I am hot
You wouldn't like to be in my shoes.

Feeling expressive/reflective
clammy
yearning for home
I know I am beautiful
other feelings too.
My pen runs out
I use an inferior biro
not so creative.

I breathe deeply
air welcome
stale or not
much better than a flight.

I want to love
I live to love
I have decided
to make my life
an act of love.

I have walked an hour today
Big heavy backpack
Mactop
I would love a Lightmac.

Penultimate train stop
SMS to Joan
Train still rammed
I look forward to the walk home
breathing the fresh
see Joan
kiss
a meal
Life to be continued ........................
