The city quickly rushes by the window
A blur to the empty eyes within!
They stare, but don’t really see, as
Rain like teardrops rolls across the glass.
They are lost in their own perceptions
Of the world rushing by!
Clickety-clack! The steel rail melody drones on
The bulging subway car rocking
Back and forth…occasionally dislodging
One of the creatures wedged tightly into its belly.
Familiarity clashes with unfamiliarity, as
Passengers pressed against each other
Struggle to maintain an air of indifference!
A young man in a pricey suit
Surrenders his seat to a sweet little old lady
Who gratefully acknowledges his chivalry
Before tucking his wallet into her pocket.
A beautiful young blonde in the aisle
Short black skirt, shapely legs spread, bracing herself.
Enjoying the view with a devious smirk
The old gent seated beside her leans over
Brushing non-existent dust from his worn suede shoes.
Sitting up stiffly, red faced, heart pounding,
He realizes she’s no woman!
And the city quickly rushes by the window
A blur to the empty eyes within!
