In Two Minds
While one ad was encouraging exhausted
White collar employees on the London tube
To keep up spirits with sparkling wine,
The very next one was touting a tonic
For workers to enhance mental clarity, focus.
On the right hand side, folks were being tempted to
Allow silky smooth chocolate to melt on their tongues.
While on the left hand side, another ad was egging them on
to join high-tech gyms spread out all over the metropolis.
Upstairs, head lights of a flashy car winked
Through the ad’s screen at pinched commoners,
While downstairs, commuters were being
Thanked for using public transport.
Who was the cooler guy?
The one who risked being packed like a sardine
In the local trains? Or the one
Cruising around town in his silver bullet of a car?
