this one is SUPER different than the usual!! i'll be posting very depressing poetry tomorrow, so keep an eye out xx
********************************
on the subway
a sea of faces
some round
some drawn
pale
dark
freckled
wrinkled
covered in makeup
a sea of people
some with
hats
on their heads
some chewing gum
or talking noisily
on the phone
purses on shoulders
cell phones in
hands
filthy seats
sat in by a thousand
people before you
poles
gripped by commuters
on the long ride home
snores from the few
who have been here
for too long
faces covered in soot
and grime
hands caked with
germs
that you couldn't
find anywhere else
chaotic
loud
unapologetic
in a way
it's beautiful
it's an example
all types of people
united
by a dirty
subway
you wouldn't find it
anywhere else
not like this
not with graffiti
on the outside of
metal trains
shooting underground
under a city
filled with tourist traps
and nightlife
you wouldn't smell the
same smells
smog
hot dogs
city smells
you wouldn't see men
peeing in the corner
of the dirty station
only here
only on the subway
you wouldn't find this
anywhere else
in the world
