Sitting on the top deck
My eye catches
The indicator board
At East Dulwich station.
For that brief second
I anticipated jumping off
For the thirteen fifty four
That would have got me
To South Bermondsey
For bang on two.
I would have only missed
The first ten minutes
Of Millwall Lionesses
Versus Reading.
But I am already heading
Up to town
Wearing a frown
Such is the fickle hand
That determines
My humdrum fate.
Dulwich Poet 4th May 2014
(My intention waas to go to The Den, by there were no trains on my line. So I jumped on a bus, and noticed, too late, I could have made it by getting off at East Dulwich. So I stayed on the bus, and didn't watch any football.)
