 DIRECTIONS/MISDIRECTIONS by Barry Tebb 
						I sit inside the train of tears
 The station mellow in shade
 
 Unoriginal phrases air-brush the canvas.
 
 
 
 Puzzling minds I wonder
 
 If all are like my own
 
 Closed to stillness.
 
 
 
 From girders hang the acrobats of gone
 
 Pearl grey Whistlers. We sat on
 
 A train like this once, you and I,
 
 Face to face but travelling
 
 In opposite directions-
 
 Or was it you alone I watched depart,
 
 Stood on the platform edge, anxious and alert?
