Some People Are Trains

'you need to be a warrior right now,

especially in Wetherspoon's where you're slightly scared

to take a piss

and for comfort you search 'Mudlarking' on your phone,

as you squat in the cubicle with one foot

pressed hard against the door

in case someone should come in

and realise what you are.'

Jackson Phoenix Nash is an essential new poetic voice. Funny, tragic, deeply lived, his poems snap you wide awake.
