three counties
one week
peterborough
the east coast
it's my first day
in the office
hardly the life
of a traveller
yet I'm still
determined
to make you
proud of me
breaking down
as I lose myself
in the hustle
and bustle
of the working city
pushing past
all the insecurity
in a leap of faith
that's turned more
into a dive
except I land
in jetwashed portaloos
and sodden toilet tissue
with no seat to rest
feeling trapped
in the middle
of nowhere with
only a smeared mirror
and a run down sink for company
Do I battle through or just walk away?
