Metros

The man from Bengal with the Liverpool
hat is sleeping in the metro;

the man from Alsace with the phthisic and Reeboks
is sleeping underneath the metro;

the man from Brazil with the single-glazed flat
is trying to sleep overlooking the metro;

the man from Manila with the wanderlust
oversleeps and has missed the metro;

the man from Versailles with the younger wife
sleeps at last and dreams of metros.
