Eye Contact

Heading northbound on the Victoria Line, I sit opposite a goth. He has startlingly blue eyes and pale skin made wan by his dyed black hair. A slight air of effeminacy pervades. I stare. He catches me. We exchange a London smile; fleeting, eyes sliding off sideways. Handsome in his way, I am intrigued. He watches me now. The dance continues to Euston, where he alights.

Ba rump bump. You wrote the dance. Amazingly well too.

So well I didn't even realise!

Thank you, dearie - so good of you to check it out.

It is indeed like haiku, I'm just too lazy, and too verbose to stick to seventeen syllables.
