College Street - not yet And so for miles
The appointed hour Stillorgan and
Crew still waiting White's cross; Foxrock
Already bored And then Deansgrange

'OK, let's go Suburb often
Start her up Mick' Suburb (of what?)
Cough of diesel Abbey Road
churning engine Monkstown Dairy

Conductor's rounds And now the Farm
Rattle of change Push bell and go
White and purple Move down the bus
slip of paper Mick heeds and stops

Driver turning My journey's done
(Accustomed drill) But for the bus
Round the corner to Dun Laoghaire
Into Nassau. And the depot


And Kildare Street Another day gone
Along the Green Stretch weary limbs
Down Leeson Street Evening paper
(Upper; Lower) And so to bed.


Morehampton Road
Donnybrook cross
Dual carriageway
(Dreary expanse)
