nyc subways
A man can learn a lot from a morning
over forty-five minutes crowded and alone.
I miss a childish innocence like the brown and orange
colors of trains and grammar schools.
But sometimes real life smells more like Flushing on
the G.
On city subways we all rock to the same beat.
And I'm stuck thinking about mistakes I've made,
can't help but think that i'm a fool for them.
At least now I can learn from them.
I know you better than anyone, and that's one thing
that should never be in doubt.
Alone, this route, the blurry voice rings out, I think
it's time to transfer now.
On the next train, again I think back and
I miss a childish innocence like blond kids missing
their two front teeth.
But real life is like the man's ticket across from me
and I think we're all losing this lottery
We're all swaying to the same silence.
I'll do what I can, and just hope it's enough.
