Trains

Have you sat and watched the trains come and go?

Your collar turned up to the wind’s chill filled blow.

Have you watched as the trains passed along the track?

And the people pass by with life on their back.

Have you seen the young girl with knee-torn jeans?

And the homeless man and his tin of Baked Beans?

Have you stopped to buy the latest Big Issue?

And the man mutters to himself “I miss you”.

Have you seen the city in night filled light?

Have you seen the peak-hour in the throes of a fight?

Have you chilled in the morning, as cold as white snow?

Have you sat and watched the trains come and go?
