"Missed the 11:20"
I am here,
waiting for midnight's calling,
sitting on the concrete
of the subway station.
I am here,
waiting out a wind that's wailing,
holding my arms close to me
upon this subway floor.
I am here,
waiting for a dream to grasp me,
jumping as a beer can
falls down the subway steps.
I am here,
waiting for a train that's past me,
reading the inscriptions
that paint these subway walls.
I am here,
waiting for my breath to warm me,
getting up, ready to
leave these subway tracks.
I am here,
entering again the bitter chill,
walking home, I guess I won't
take the subway back.
