Escaping
by Wolfgang Glinka
Sitting on a train looking at the moon, a Romantic pastime, no doubt.
Lying on the beach, timing the waves, feeling the sun, that too.
Counting the rhythms as the train moves on; throwing stones into the sea;
Pass the time, distract the mind.
Stand on the corner, watching, hands in pockets, chewing gum.
Kicking cans as you shimmy along, you, key scraping the railings,
A one-man minimalist revolt, heroism with a touch of rebellion.
Disturb the peace, break the silence.
iPod soundtracks make you a star,
Your movements, choreographed, fit with the beat.
Everyone loves you, looks at you, wants you.
Hurts you, dies for you, hates you.
Ignore shop front reflections and photographic recollections.
Select only those memories that fit the bill,
Spice them up, shift focus and set them free,
Then change the track and sigh.
No problem – any of that: the mood, the look, the stance.
Earphones off, lights on, bored faces turn briefly to you;
The arrival, the puncture, the end of the show.
Now what do you say or do?
