mysteriously stopped and we wait

we know not why so long on platform 3

eyes fixate on numbers the numbers

a secret code

on a cable pylon: 16

0

(like football results)

and letters: mid-track: E

and colours: white

and red and white

Beside our window the huge hand falls to 16 past 12

Rusty scrap wagons on siding next to wheel-less trailers on stilts

End of summer turns swimming pool into glass house

Started again

the change

from standstill to motion so minute

a partition of time’s atom so quick the split

hardly perceived at all

always the face in the window and always the fence

in the face in window
