The day I realised I was middle class

It came on all of a sudden.
Not like a lurking cold, or a tingling sore, but like a clean break.
The sort you might sustain by falling down the stairs.

It was the van drivers fault.
Damn him.
There I was walking my eco-friendly way to work and he struck.
All the kids stared, the communters stared, I stared.

That was the day my veggie box delivery guy beeped me.
