Aisle 43

Six people fill my vision
On this crowded smelly train
For three, this is their only mention
But it won't cause them any pain

First is old before her time
Keeping younger sibling happy
Wonder how many times
She's changed a dirty nappy?

Ten at most I'm sure
Looks at me with older eyes
Is growing up too early
A problem or a prize?

Next to me is salad chatty girl
Shovelling in as she speaks
Talking rapidly on the phone
Food squirrelled in her cheeks

But one that interests me
She has such a classy air
Elegance radiates from her
With seemingly so little care

Reminds me so much of my friend
Pretty but intruiging too
Draws me in so easily
Just like you

Something so familiar
Are you keeping me company?
Do you know I need you near
So I can just be

I'll just drink it all in
Stylish clothes, patented shoe
I'd love to lean in and kiss her
But I'd only think of you
