dim and dreary
in the woods at seven AM
church bells

will there be a bus pass
when I'm sixty-five
or seventy? Eighty if the Tories
are still in power
and need the money for private security
because they offend everybody.
Will there still be busses?
Or will falling usage cut services
in everywhere but London?
The local kids have vandalised the shelter again
so now the ladies shelter with umbrellas
and talk about the youth of today.
