It's morning
any morning
every morning
this morning
yesterday morning
probably tomorrow morning
neighbours leave their houses
some on foot
some on bikes
some head to the station
some in cars
some with others
some without
some pack their children and all their stuff
...some get in alone.
Morning sounds are heard
fumbling keys
slamming doors
barking dogs
starting engines
passing trains
raised voices
arguments!
then vehicles disperse
Mums with toddlers - noisily walk
School girls in a huddle - tap on screens
regretting the length of their skirts
teachers with briefcases - off to influence young minds
rail engineers sleep - after a night keeping our railways safe
plumbers out to fix leaks
install
mend - anything that involves water
some in suits and lanyards
to move money around?
insure things?
sell things?
design things?
lecture on things - who knows?
Vintners go to sell bottles of
petrol station cashiers to keep the country moving
supermarket workers to keep us all fed
health workers to keep us well
entrepreneurs to carry on running all those companies that we can't do without
and those lucky enough not to have to leave...
...sleep on!
