Lix(six)-'Engineer's screw(driver)'

281 bus route
Driver number 'xxx'
Creases in his face that want to tell me of:
Magna caume laude
Street vendors in Ramadan
Freshly ironed and starched Versace
Two wives
Basra skylines
His mistress's moan
Forest green painted veranda
Flourishing date palm trees crippling under weight
Gold framed saucers
Mother's plump neck
National grids

He was once Iraqi elite


I touch in my oyster card
We exchange looks

I know akhi,
I know.
