in transit

these steel and grey
structures
of our time,
like buses they send off
these flying insects out into
the unending sky till
we reach another such marvel
full of signs and warnings - the greys
dotted with oranges and greens
(fluorescent, warning) and sometimes
the upholstery on the
scarce seating
disagrees with the grey of the
floor, the steel of the cages,
black and white uniforms, to borrow
the colours of the real world.
