Ten Minutes to Maidenhead


Slough arrives and the train empties leaving only half done crosswords discarded on seats and luggage racks to remember their presence

Still 10 minutes to Maidenhead. Too short a time to sleep, flick open my book for a few paragraphs, glance up at Burnham, stretch at Taplow, envy the houses by the water as we cross the river then time to collect bags and jackets as Platform 2 slides by and stops.
