…is all it takes…
…for the crowds to clear…
…for the hoards of commuters to vacate the platform…
…to be left standing, to breathe…
…to turn and look back down the track from whence I came…
…and then to turn back, to resume my journey…
…to stroll, to amble, to mooch…
…back up the platform…
…up the escalator…
…through the ticket barrier…
…and onwards, forwards and beyond…
