C

She sits on the train looking out at the rain 
Another crap day full of pain 

The appointment is booked and she’s running late 
She wants to throw up and make it all go away 

She knows the route like the back of her hand 
Each graffitied brick, grey and bland 

An important item with the facing issues 
She checks her bag for the small pack of tissues 

It seems so unfair making this trip all alone 
She would love a friend or chaperone 

The greeting as ever is warm and well meant 
But she’s going to hell which is heaven sent 

They link her up to the dreadful machine 
And the process soon starts which will make her clean 

Never once has she uttered why me with intent 
It’s written in the stars  she knows that it’s meant 

Mercifully held  in  the hands of time 
She waits for her fate  from the great divine
