Penge

As I sat outside Somerset house

I looked at a man about to get on the bus

then I noticed he was going to Penge.

I seem to have some strange attraction to Penge

A little later I saw another bus for Penge

All the people looked the same.

They were like clones

I don’t know whether they would let me into Penge if I went?

I look too different.

But then again I have always different.
