She is singing loudly
White ear phones removing all inhibition
Pulling tuts and stares like teeth.
“look at my baby – her eyes are grey”
She says to a friend
A friend trying to sink into the chaotic design.
You’re speaking loudly!”
“Yeah I know”
She fixes her friend with a confident stare.
And baby grey eyes.
This is part of a series of poems for the Global Poetry System inspired by snatches of overheard conversation, not unsurprisingly, many are inspired on the tube.
