Caution: these seats fold back up when vacated

Caution: these seats fold back up when vacated

Caution: these days fold back up when vacated.
Although you’ll never sit in them again
just maybe someone else will: the next shift
arriving in the just-vacated coach
and ready for their own day trip,
perhaps among them a replacement you,
a doppelganger, who’d call you the same,
then some you else, a day behind, again.
Caution: these bodies fold back up
when vacated. The gravestones rows
seats in a bombed out theatre.
