Paul Hansford - Victims

Paul Hansford - Victims

'Trains into and out of Waterloo are subject to delay because of... br a body on the line at Basingstoke' (railway notice) br ------------------- br br A body on the line at Basingstoke - br the train to Waterloo has been delayed. br You'll have to wait; the plastic bag brigade br are clearing up and trying not to choke. br br Commuter suicide's no news to us. br We don't suspect foul play; it's by the book. br But one more driver, terror in his look, br takes the day off, wishing he drove a bus. br br Neighbours or strangers, those who saw him leap br could never know what so possessed his mind. br His unwished legacy - they long may find br the image of his death disturb their sleep. br br The quiet desperation of a life br brought by that final step over the rim br to its conclusion - weep no tears for him, br his torment's over.
