BEST Disabled

The fat middle-aged lady
With the fat voice,
Discards the old man like a match box,
To the 'disabled' seat
On the bus.
She thrusts herself forward
Towards the EXIT,
With a lavish dose of insults.
The old man retreats further
Into introspection.
Slinking into the corner of the seat
Apologising for his existence.

The Teachers Touch

Do you have a minute?
I hesitantly ask her,
She answers, 'I have ten'
