“LOVE ON THE 2.40 TO NOTTINGHAM” 10 Feb 94

Anytime of the day or night
on concrete platforms
loved ones, last kisses
before the train comes

sad goodbyes,
jokes about hiding in
each others luggage
emotional baggage

it looks lovely
but if you’re lonely
now she’s gone, and he goes home
there’ll be no love note

I know how a divorced train conductor feels.
