I, AS FANWRITER, AM IN INDEFINITELY HIATUS - 09 MAY 2009

In the tunnel I noticed I had a choice of three,

While I though it was very kind of them to offer me this,

I do wonder if they realize what a dilema they were sending to face me,

The trouble was,

If I looked at your reflection in the left window,

I missed the actual image of you and your reflection in the right,

And if I looked in the right I had the same problem but the other way around,

At first I though I should probably settle on one of the mirrors as they were soon to disappear,

but the idea quickly wilted and my attention was drawn back to the center occasionally checking on either side,

I must say I did question the authenticity of your nap a few minutes before,

As the train left I suspected it could have been a device to avoid conversation,

I barely considered this for a moment,

however, when a heavy breath and a gulping sound that I decided would be too embarrassing to fake,

led me to conclude that your nap wasn't fraudulent,

I found it difficult to concentrate on anything else as you slumped beneath your coat,

delighted that we'd waited until this hour to travel so the evening soon got its opportunity to skip across those sleeping cheeks,

but unnerved by the prospect of being removed from the opposing chair to yours,

I knew it was reserved,

but hoped whoever had reserved it had fallen over,

It looked as if today I'd be safe,

the train wasn't too busy,

but it did take a moment to recall,

a time when I was less fortunate.

I remembered it with a chilling vividity when we were on the way to Brighton,

I knew it was going to be his seat as soon as I saw him on the platform,

unzipping, checking, zipping, and re-checking things,

Something about his face suggested that he had for years had a mustache and had not long since removed it.

He wasn't going to think twice about disposing of me,

especially considering that he'd get the chance...

...to sit with you.
