oh dear

with drooping eyes i stick it out, bum clenched 'gainst my seat
young lad nearby is unconcerned; he chomps at his apple
older lady on the right; she coughs into a kerchief
crunch he goes, and hack she goes, crunch hack crunch, repeat.
both disgusting, unhygenic
encroaching, now arrhythmic
stop already miserable world
please can't i leave?
