I saw him earlier
locked in a row with some bloke
with headphones

it must have good
cause the bloke took his
headphones out

'I used to live in yorkshire
but I moved away fifteen years ago
I got a daughter of twenty one'

there's a gleam in his eye

'I'm half indian'

and I guess he's a sikh
when he mentions my hair
and bradfordistan

before I can ask why he cut his hair
or about his daughter
or about the earlier row

his taxi arrives



The Blue Book
