In a train carriage
as hot as hell.
Blackness with small sparkles
passes by at 125.
Rain begins at 51,
cooling the carriage a little.
Then it’s gone
and the windows are silent
save for the hum of air.
Car parks floodlit and empty.
C standard 78-1.
CC TV and a no smoking sign.
A child cries in another carriage.
Come on let’s go says someone
travelling through the aisle.
