Image: People Sitting in the Subway (here)People sitting in the Subway
No different Subway, Metro or Underground
Nonchalantly in their own world
'Please leave me be' a picture of relief
Able to steal a moment of silence
A shuteye for most of them
Tiredness impacting on tired souls
The best place to be having a rest
The more alert brushing through the daily
Irrespective of the news just reading
Others holding onto the strap
Staring in mid-air or at someone
With a stern face or unwittingly smiling
No matter what on their minds
until the next stop
A sudden opening a mad rush
Pandemonium a split second
Going out or rushing in
And it was all over just as fast
Same scenario everyday of the week
Looking at the same face
Meeting the same people at each stop
Getting down together
Still not knowing each other
Happy to act and remain - complete strangers!
Period! Life is such.

We are all so lost in our own worlds...
ReplyDeleteI second what Qbit so eloquently pointed out. You have captured the image and humanities behavior wonderfully here Hank.
ReplyDeleteGetting down together
ReplyDeleteStill not knowing each other
sums it up perfectly
Unfortunately, that is very true.
ReplyDelete"How to relax when doing the subway thing."
ReplyDeleteYour "No different Subway, Metro or Underground," I'll
go for the London Tube. Been there sooo many times.
Nice to see you here, Hank. Love reading your writes.
