PACING THE PLATFORM

 

 

Pacing the platform

waiting for my train

I must look insane

to innocent bystanders

but I pass it off

as exercise

I gotta get in my steps

but a large cup of coffee

lodged in my hand

exposes the utter pretense

tho I suppose

an energy drink would be worse

 

No one is buying it

the new improved, health conscious me

as the caffeine causes palpitations

further triggered by activity

but fortunately

the light in the horizon

is the light from approaching train

and not anything more serious
