Wow. There they are. The Dawdlers.
Tight black jeans, oversized black puffer jackets,
matching black backpacks. The Dawdlers.
Right in front of me. A pop duo famous
for tracks like, ‘Don’t Worry, No Hurry’, and
‘Ain’t No Bars Like Staring At The Stars’.
The Dawdlers. Wow. Look at their shoulders
roll with the rhythm of a stranger’s head
doing its best to not nod off on the train.
The Dawdlers. Right here. “Walking”
through Euston train station
discussing the lyrics for their next track:
‘Tuts are just an applause of the teeth’.
