Occupied

Catching up via your tablet
Smiling at some tv show
Can't get the answer to eight down
Or reading as we go

Lost in some complex spreadsheet
Closed off from the trip
Headphones soothing softly
In to some daydream you slip

Bored now, flicking through Cosmo
Uncontent, restless it's clear
Eyes closed tight, and dozing
Hoping that your station's near

Or are you me, and occupied
Watching others readily
An endless source of intrigue
Unless the carriage is empty
People spying, yes you are
So I am not alone
And I'll record the details here
Via my HTC smart phone

Conductor calls for tickets please
Breaks the humming hush
Did you catch me watching you
Or did you see me blush

Darkness falls outside the train
I'm not blinded anymore
You go ahead, enjoy your toffee crisp
I am jealous, that's for sure

So you are me, but not occupied
Watching others readily
An endless source of intrigue
And on this train there is plenty
People spying, yes you are
So I am not alone
And I'll record the details here
Via my HTC smart phone
