SUBWAY

Chrome eyes
gargoyled faces
pinned against 
the plexiglass

Reflections
and plastic seats

It's raining
on the old rain
But only damp
here underground

A transfer
and you're lost

I've been writing
this same thing
for years
Thinking it longer

I never get it 
down right

The turnstile
and skinny card

A long ago lost token

Thoughts
forever thought broken
