there’s an upside-down boy playing cards’
if you lookup at the reflective luggage rack
above the seats.
i try not to bother him, or his companions
with my curiosity, however.

were flying along on the Eurostar,
(buildings a-blur)

toward the Chunnel,
and London, where we are playing a show.

the Scottish lady at the gate,
where we caught the train,
said we were naughty
for showing up, the last minute, with a band.
but
with her help
we got by the check point.
and ran for the train just in time.
“come on Ed”.
