First steps of a journey - <br />I am one alone among the many <br />lost amid assorted faces <br />pounded by instructions <br />detailed by the tannoy <br />- Platform 8 - rain pouring in <br />across the platform <br />wet steps - lost <br />in the panic of time <br />in the panic of missing their train. <br />I am a face - one face <br />along a corridor of windows <br />looking out into the night <br />the rain-soaked night <br />the silent city <br />where no-one knows my final destination.<br /><br />Mal Foster<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/platform-8-victoria/
