I sat on the train from London to Glasgow <br />And passed not a word with anyone there <br />Half way through the journey <br />I took all my clothes off <br />If anyone noticed <br />I wasn’t aware. <br /> <br />I sat on a train from Rome down to Naples <br />And learnt the life history of everyone there <br />Ate bread and salami <br />With a lady from Bari <br />A man from Perugia <br />Sang a song from Paliacci <br />And babies were crying <br />And people were laughing <br />And a man from Cattania <br />Whose wife had just left him <br />Was telling his tale <br />To the lady from Bari <br />Who knew about life <br />And was so understanding - <br /> <br />When the train stopped in Naples <br />I wasn’t aware.<br /><br />Nicolette Turner<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/journeys-2/
