+The Avoiding Dance+
106 pairs of eyes avoid
The chance of meeting another pair
Non acknowledgement of commuters
In their private places quiet
The travel in and travel out
Not a time for strangers
For some strangers are stranger
Than you have ever wanted to know
212 eyes studiously denying existence
Of any others on this carriage
Solitary travel sought
No exchange of views wanted
Not seeking privilege of knowing better
The strangers on this train
To remain strangers evermore
Public transport code unspoken
To blankly stare away and all ignore.
