| "Where masses converge/Then scatter/Each way" reminds me of life & its arbitrary centrifugal forces which are counterbalanced by the ongoing "tunnel of survival" - excellent poem! Kathy. |

Sounds like you spend a lot of time waiting for the train in Grand Central Station. You have taken a journey into the unknown and have made it your own comparing it to our lifes.

To test the waters of another's awarenesses by their reactions, could lead one into the briny waters of disillusionment.
A word spoken in love is always better than a furtive glance!
As always Jude, you provoke one to leave themselves and cogitate through your eyes and pen.

Dear Jude,
When one is the observer, it is amazing to notice the transition, the concentration of chaos, then the sudden dissipation. Brilliant observation, well penned Jude.

Totally profound observation on the nature and quality of humanity's alienation from humanity in this modern world. That might sound like little more than an asthetic statement but we don't have to look far to see all the chaos such a condition has helped to create. Appreciate you sharing the vision.

Moving life
Into a tedious tunnel of survival
That's exactly how I felt each and every bloody morning when I used to ride that contraption to work. |

The humdrum of life echoes in these choice words...as does the diversity and complexity of human nature..
You say a lot in an insular and tight brief..

Charles Dickens said this of the subway, "there is not much head-room left, and it is not advisable for any but the very briefest of Her Majesty's lieges to attempt the passage in high-heeled boots, or with a hat to which he attaches any particular value."

Is it the hum or the hum drum existence highlighted only by the coming of the train that makes us take notice? Highs and lows, boredom and anticipatuion, loving and indifference, closeness then dissapation...an interesting study here, Jude.

What a cluster of people lodged in a shadowbox upon rails. You paint the tight enclosures of strangers upon strangers until clostrophobic rides come to an end.
