Cool Blue



This cat coils beneath a denim trilby.
The transport thunders oblivion bound (or perhaps as far as Hammersmith)
Slouched in black suit, doc crossed ankles casual, thumb-rings and designer glasses.
57 and he still calls the tune.
Surrounded by sheep in trainers and tees. Just another black man on the tube.
Convention can kiss his ass.
