I live in a nice little English town.
Swindon town.
There’s a football team here.
And a magic roundabout.
The former consists of those that want to be somewhere else.
Swindon shops, always busy. |
The people here, in Swindon town, live in little houses, and in their cars, and at work, or school.
Occasionally they walk, or cycle.
Listening to something else.
Going somewhere else.
I watch as they pass me by.
They’re so busy.
On their way to work.
Or school.
Or shopping.
Or whatever it is that they do.
Because I don’t really know what they do.
I can guess.
But they don’t talk to me.
They just pass me by.
Off they go.
The magic roundabout, always busy. |
Whoosh.
Zoom.
Zoom.
They're so busy.
With so little time.
I live in a nice little English town.
Swindon town.
I’ve lived here for over thirty years now.
There are people here.
Nice people.
I think.
I don’t really know them.
And they don’t really know me.
Are we happy?
I don’t know.
We don’t speak.
