A Haiku, a British Rail virgin and a hat tip to a friend

A friend, I discover, also writes and, as it happens, rather well indeed. A hat tip to you Amaia.

Pestilent City!

Pestilent city!
Grey towers grow about us -
Flowers of winter.

Anais Nietzsche


British Rail Virgin

An amateur philosopher,
I think about hell and train stations.

Five letters –
Down,

Something you do
when you want to be heard...

Shout?

No, I can’t,

Even though the fat man
on the opposite seat is staring at me -

A sticker on the glass
Bans mobile phones and talking too loudly.

Anais Nietzsche


A Funny Old Life
