Okay, when I shuffle off this earthly folly you'll not be hearing from me unless you attend a spiritualist church.
Bromley by-Bow,
it
is as well to know
not the same as
Bow road where it is
still advisable to
'Mind the gap'
Have you ever seen
Stepney Green on
Saturday?
Ha
no way you'll see it from
the underground
as I've just found.
On to Aldgate East
don't expect to meet
that
'turbulent priest'
he's long gone.
I'm going on
passing Tower Hill,
the monument
a monument to
the great fire
Cannon street
no cannons
Mansion house where
they really need balls
(of the cannon variety)
Blackfriars in a blackfriary?
must remember that and put
It in my diary
Temple
Embankment
Westminster
at James's park
and it's dark but still
underground so quite
reasonable
Victoria
amused?
I'm confused
it looks so new.
Glass and steel
all go to make me
feel cold and
unwanted
which is probably true
in the new
continuum.

- Comment from author about the poem: Travels on the underground but usually the Central Line, the District Line is definitely worth writing about. That 'turbulent priest' is historical and also associated with the Auld Gate of London.

I travel regularly on the Central line and this captures it so well.
