National Poetry Day: The 10.19

The 10.19 from Bradford to Leeds

It’s a train, not a bike

But for the sake to National Poetry Day

Let’s imagine

That I’m cycling

Speeding down the superhighway

(That they have built)

Except, I’m told

It’s a bit of an obstacle course for cyclists

Perhaps the train is easier

So I’ll stop imagining

If only we were birds and could fly

Bye

(At least that penultimate line rhymed…)
