Gerry was standing on the platform edge<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Contemplating mortality and coffee <\/p>\n\n\n\n
The train was due in six minutes<\/p>\n\n\n\n
He looked into the buffet <\/p>\n\n\n\n
On the opposite platform <\/p>\n\n\n\n
How good the London Cakes seemed<\/p>\n\n\n\n
And Jenny was wearing her short skirt again<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Jerry could see her panties <\/p>\n\n\n\n
As she wiped the greasy tables<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In the distance he could clearly<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Hear the express crossing the viaduct <\/p>\n\n\n\n
He would have to make a decision <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Should he jump or refrain from jumping <\/p>\n\n\n\n
It was then he saw sweet Jenny <\/p>\n\n\n\n
On the platform opposite him <\/p>\n\n\n\n
She was holding two London Cakes <\/p>\n\n\n\n
And asking him not jump <\/p>\n\n\n\n
As it would be bad for business <\/p>\n\n\n\n
She might to have to throw food away <\/p>\n\n\n\n
And that would not do as she was on a strict budget <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Jerry saw the express pass the distant signal <\/p>\n\n\n\n
It would roar through the station at over a hundred <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Brenda who was Jenny’s Friday assistant <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Came out to face Jerry with a J mug <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Of tasteless but steaming coffee<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The express had entered the station <\/p>\n\n\n\n
It was screaming like a banshee violated <\/p>\n\n\n\n
I stepped back and sat down <\/p>\n\n\n\n
And became Joe again as my creation <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Had thrown himself under the train <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
