Mind the Gap
The gap is the space between the train and the platform,
To exit the train you must step over the gap,
You must always be cautious of the gap or you might get hurt,
Do not try to fill in the gap or the train will not be able to move,
Most people believe the gap is just empty space, those people are wrong,
The gap is neither scary nor dangerous if it is treated with respect,
You will forget the people on the train, but you will remember the gap.
When you stand up, the gap follows you, no matter where you are
The gap cannot physically look after you, but trust me it wants too,
While the gap has no superhero powers, it's very being would easily defeat superman in a
fight, no problem,
The gap can make you cry, but you must allow it to make you smile too.
Sometimes the gap blows you back so you don't get too close to a moving train.
Although the gap has no legs, it is in fact the best dancer ever.
Wherever you are, you are never more than a few metres away from the gap,
Nothing upsets the gap more than being ignored.
Knowing this information about the gap could save your life, it saved mine
