CROYDON ON THE HORIZON

 

 

Riding suburban train

to the concrete hollow

you call an apartment

and also your home

you cling

to an Xtra large Wawa coffee

hoping the coffee

kicks your ass awake

you’ll make past Bridesburg

caffeine slowly waging war

with the flood of alcohol

a few more stops

don’t fall asleep

suck down the caffeinated juice

Croydon on the horizon

We’ll get to our stop

We’ll sleepwalk home

Xtra Large Wawa coffee

draining ever so quickly

but Croydon on the horizon

we’ll make it home again
