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 

brown vinyl shopping trolley
like
an
old
woman
might
have
used
twenty years ago
