London and Mouses


Victoria couch station does not go
To sleep.

It's not even a one third of an aesthetic
But poets make frogs into princes so 
...

I see the becoming in change. The 
Comfort of being taken to a 
Known destination not needing
To know the way.
It happens only in travels like that.

I see the becoming in repetition. A
Man sweeping the floor yet another time.
He is watching people like mouses.
Running
About their business not knowing
Why.

A constant of life in a place as busy as an
Ant house.

This place does not go to sleep. Lights colour it's windows
To scare away the ghosts of rest.
Stillness is a demon unable to possess.

A mouse, after mouse, after mouse. But what happens when 
A mouse snaps out 
Of this ?
