the train         

waiting

downtown
waiting

12:55 a.m.
waiting

tired workers
washing
an eternally grimy
platform

   —   —   —

the train comes

a number two
going up the east side

people on it

   —   —   —

ugliness

incredible ugliness

comes out
only at night

are you among them?

is your goodness merely sham
or full-grown delusion?

when will I get home?

   —   —   —

I get off
and the train leaves

rushing

mid-night
rushing

rushing
rushing


Back



Subway
