What is your preferred mode of transport?
Forget about travelling on trains,
or embarking on ships,
or taking to the sky in planes.
A private car for a road trip,
a horse and cart chaise,
a motor bike, all dismissed.
To see the world go by,
trundling along the lanes,
tyres on the ground, head in the sky.
Aimlessly watch the rain
make a face in the steam cry,
watch droplets streak on the pane.
Bus stops, people get off.
Climb on clinking change,
find a seat, arrange bags, cough.
Engine rumbles brakes hiss.
We’re off to another stop,
effortless transport bliss.
Above hedges and fences
watching the world go by
trundling through a rainbow
as clouds clear from the sky.
