Getting the Hang of It
I'm only after the morning after,
so I struggle to stand and to stagger
with a dazed throng toward a sober train,
with ferocious migraine addling my brain.
I stare blankly at this blank-faced city,
this hurrying horde of humanity;
seems quite weird, but though among so many,
each one is such a lonesome company.
Some take the seats, others prefer to stand
and each grabs the rail with a drowsy hand,
hanging on an old hangover, gloomy;
I say to myself: So very like me!
