Subway observation

Well coifed
you’ve made yourself so exclusive
Saturday night on the subway
is a nearly unbearable experience
no smile anywhere
you can barely hold back the tears
as you watch connections
all around you

A fourth of a restrained half moon
you give me as our eyes connect
before you’re off on Canal Street
and I’m writing in this steno pad
I carry
when I see my fellow riders
in all their conditions

In light of recent news, I think there will be prayers cropping up tonight. I need to see if I have some vinegar to treat a sunburn on a 12-year-old boy who recently asked how we know he isn’t an older lesbian. It was kind of hard to know where to go with a question like that.
