The train's delayed approximately 22 minuets
And there's a wind blowing along the platform
My cold fingers hold some cheap chocolate
My first meal of the day
I'm looking out over they strand
The dry salty clumps of seaweed
The lines of waves far out to sea
And the blue blur of other places
It's been a hell of a journey
And I'm still very scathed
I suck another piece of chocolate
And watch the seagulls circling
The pattern the shells thrown on the sand
It's been a bad day
The birds are flying low
There's going to be a storm
The waves eroding the concrete station
And the mollusc-encrusted rocks equally
The train, a green caterpillar between the houses,
Is now a distant roar; I've had a bad time
But unlike the seagulls I have a nest
