Replying to a comment on:
At The Station (Free verse) by Christof
Here, full of people
Going somewhere or nowhere,
Either hustling for connections
Or loitering with a Tennant's
Or the old dear collecting for terminal patients,
Here I find in the formaldehyde
Of damp yellow light one dwelling thing
That needs neither ticket nor vending machine:
Moss, like a comic moustache
That's slipped from above a bank clerk's grin
And counts us rattling out and in,
The loose change in the collector's tin.
