Chelmsford Railway station
Upline
Shivering bodies, self-compiling in clusters
Along the cold grey dais
Default positioning
For downloading
Onto stiletto City trains
Driven into its core
Un-anticipating
We unhappy few
We band of breathers
Esprit de corpses
The 05:58 arrives and un-clots
The platform blotches
Replaced in moments by tickets
For the 06:10
If ever our hearts had
Been as syncopated, this rose
Would be on the 06:25
And the thorn on the 06.40
