Totteridge & Whetstone by Bardia Khorshidian
Totteridge and Whetstone,  what peculiar bedfellows you are, brushing up against each other  on Northern line carriage cars. After work, I watch as you alight the train to meet friends (though in different bars). Whetstonian lads for Edgware bound, wait boisterously for 251s, while Totterites totter past them  to their car park parked Jaguars

Totteridge & Whetstone by Bardia Khorshidian

Totteridge and Whetstone,
what peculiar bedfellows you are,
brushing up against each other
on Northern line carriage cars.
After work, I watch as you alight the train
to meet friends (though in different bars).
Whetstonian lads for Edgware bound,
wait boisterously for 251s,
while Totterites totter past them
to their car park parked Jaguars

A doctor’s mask;

leech-like, sealed tight.
The downward escalator, a Japanese girl’s mouth.

Her; scared eyes.
Us; spewing lipped.

Going up,
so,
the kiss that I blow,
is a match that I have flicked;

a tweezer for her tic.

My aid to operation,
X,

(a kiss).
