"Killing Time"

Waiting at a bus stop
Reading poetry
To kill time...
When a thought
Comes into my head.
Dive into my bag
For pen and paper
Before my rhyme
Goes stone dead.
Such concentration
That...
As I look up
Oh fuck!
There goes the bastard bus
I was waiting for.
Back to square one-
Waiting at the bus stop
Reading poetry.

Dulwich Poet 10th June 2014

( I wasn't paying attention as a bus pulled up at the bus stop earlier, the one I was waiting for. I had a line in my head for a poem I haven't even written yet...)
