STRANGE DUCKLINGS



look at them strange ducklings !

he says
on the pm bus
our shift over early

look at them out there !
where do you even
buy an anorak like that ?

he
laughs out loud
with
genuine glee

i love finishing this early !

he says
nose to the window

you never see them strange ducklings 
out and about
when
us
normals
are
do you ?

and his laugh
changes into
a
kind
of
whoooop of triumph
as
he
spots a man on a street corner
buttoned up all wrong
in an 80s ski jacket
fiddling
with
two pairs of headphones
and 
a 
brown vinyl shopping trolley
like
an
old
woman
might
have
used
twenty years ago
