Easier To Define Home

panic attacks –
find a station –
underground,
wait for a train to pull in,
look at the adverts,
mothers pink gin ,
panic attacks,
but it’s just a bad dream
i have a station
(she is beautiful by the way)
i am not underground
(it’s good sunny day)
i don’t have to wait for a train
(it’s always here anyway)
and the adverts are not for gin
(they’re for a future that gently sways)
so that’s the end of my panic
my struggle, it’s so simple
but i almost like to believe it was titanic
she makes it easy,
easier to define home
