The other day, taking the tube, I had a thought.
We'd stopped at a station, on the platform. We'd waited a while.
Other trains passed us.
We stayed still, waiting.
Something was happening.
A tube attendant and someone in business attire rushed about on the platform. Soon they were joined by two policemen.
We were locked in.
Something was happening.
The tube attendant, businessman, and police walked repeatedly up and down the platform, looking in and out the carriages.
Clearly they were looking for someone, or something.
People inside the tube carriages had begun standing up and talking.
"Let us off!" one cried.
"Last time I get the train mate!" shouted another.
"All this with Coronavirus!" splurted a man.
"We're panicking!" shrieked a woman.
The crowd was coming together.
Sometimes, you see people and how they react. You think, we don't have a hope getting out of this.
Pity the next generations.
All these fools.
