It's inevitable, you stop riding the subway so when you do, again, you see these changes. First it's the fare, always going up it seems. Why is it that we're willing to pay $2~3~4 dollars for a drink but not want to pay $4.50 to be shuttled 15 miles; it's an odd sense of values. Then there's the platform, it looks the same on the surface, but somehow feels out of place. It's probably me. There's cell phone reception, working underground now, thought that it'd never happen. The trains are different too, newer, with handles for those unlucky to be standing, but the crowd thins out and while I enjoy the sensation of being on my feet after sitting all day by the last stop I feel too succumb to the self consciousness that surrounds me.
So many lives shuttling to and from together each trying to get to their own singular destination.
