How many poets are there
writing on commuter trains?
Does every carriage contain someone
scribbling in notebook,
netbook or on an IPhone?
Each one of us reflecting
our own reality to a world
too busy to look, let alone read!
Each one of us sharing the core experience
and sometimes, just sometimes, peering over
another's shoulder
and wondering?
Each one of us adopts the rules
specific to writing on trains
like some strange masonic rite.
Don't rubbish mine and I won't rubbish yours!
And prays for a publisher!

Seems so true...so many writers using whatever means possible to free themselves of what transpired during the day...enjoyed this.
