Bus-stop

BUS-STOP

Cuban heels of white
tap

click clack
slick slack

the pavement

Restless
Impatient
they trip across the road
and back

a steely staccato
rat-a-tat-tat

Anaesthetised
I escape
the irritating wait
irritating state

lost in the parade
of white cuban heels

that slap
iron tap

scratch scrape
the pavement
