Space full of fuss
A train full of people
A tube full of trains
Welcome aboard as commuters take aim
Barge past the hump with the positive test
Stamp on the toes of the tramp you detest
Bound to a seat as an old lady slips
Ignoring the ‘crack!’ of the alternative hip
Shuffle around and play with your vest
Gargle with coffee then cough through your chest
Choose to forget the horror-struck glance
Your armpits are itchy so don’t waste the chance
A train full of people
Just space full of fuss
Maybe tomorrow I’ll just take the bus

Poetry: Subway commute
by Lisa Kates
Screeching wheels
Race along
Cold steel tracks
Anxious people
Lean against walls
Listening to beats
Craning necks
Sounds and signals, speed and noise,
Adverts on a subway wall,
People's faces gray and ashen,
Do they see my face at all?
All

Barge past the hump

Rolling down a stream of concrete
the hypnotism of broken lines pointing into forever
it seems an eternal road
all the vehicles
URBAN UNDERGROUND
Are you looking up at me
Just let your minds eye run free
Every time you join me down here
is the air above
