Boom!
and a bus gets ripped open
Bang!
tube trains torn apart
unexpected combustion, explosion
causes confusion
radio reports casualties
website reports 90 dead
we're all hoping
somehow it's an accident
a power surge
though the national grid
say they haven't caused it
websites not working
radio not streaming
information drip drip forthcoming
we can't leave
we can't make deliveries
we probably can't get home
London a chaos
the traffic a menace
dropping off to eerie levels
many surprised by fast return journeys
stories of walking wounded
we can but will
that this is all
that can and will happen
that hysteria will die
the injured will not
and normality will return
