lennon

woburn train station.
i seem to be
running -
for a train?
ah, no, i am chasing
(this is like
memento, good ol'
christopher nolan)

-i am chasing
what appears to be...
john?
yes, those
sideburns
confirm it -
it's john lennon
all right

john lennon!
no wonder i'm
running so fast.
i'd better be
careful or the
train will leave
without me

- made it!
he sits cross-legged
in the aisle
but no one
tells him off
because he's
john-
fucking-
lennon

i talk to him
(what boldness!)
and he smiles back.
i cannot remember
what he said -
something about
bagels and
old friends

he seems so much
happier this time -
last time i saw him
he was spiteful,
driving a big
yellow school bus
with christopher
