London Butts

Every cushion on a London tube

Has a shape of a butt.

Some big, some small,

Some high, some low,

Like the vicissitudes their enforcers. 

When I decide on a seat,

My fate concurs with the cushion’s properties.

As I sit on a fat butt,

My bowels move faster and

I crave the Tesco sandwich 

Possessed by my left-hand neighbor. 


When it becomes unbearable,

I’d have to stand up for a while,

Fending off my destiny,

As I am destined to.
