Seaweed in the Breeze
That's me in the reflection;
A peephole, a little blurry.
Maybe that's my shape.
Next station: Kingsland.
Mt Eden Station is temporarily closed for redevelopment.
Water sweeps in the door of the carriage,
Tuna and Taniwha, all around my ankles.
I never saw them here before,
The ticket inspector never looks down.
There's water on my feet, through the holes,
In my shoes, and I don't lift them.
In the river, the now, the tide;
Not bottled, tapped, stuck in the pipes.
