“I like him he taps he’s good”
He stutters
He toes up the carriages
Citing his wisdom
His mantra of peace and pennies
Tapping out the same tune
With the same half sung lyrics
Moving through the rush hours
Dancing over suits and skirts
Speaking aloud
Speaking loud enough to be heard
But not to be listened to.
Rythms clatter and bleed
Into the chug chug of trains
Embarrased smiles fester on our lips
He leaves and the silence
Unbearable.
