People sitting in the Subway train
Whether Subway, Metro or Underground
Nonchalantly in their own world
'Please let me be' a picture of relief
Able to steal a moment of peace
Whether Subway, Metro or Underground
Nonchalantly in their own world
'Please let me be' a picture of relief
Able to steal a moment of peace
despite all the rush and confusion
A shuteye for a few of them
Tiredness impacting on tired souls
A good place to be having a rest
The alert brushing through the daily
Irrespective of the news but just reading
Tiredness impacting on tired souls
A good place to be having a rest
The alert brushing through the daily
Irrespective of the news but 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 in a split second
Going out or rushing in
until the next stop
A sudden opening a mad rush
Pandemonium in a split second
Going out or rushing in
and it was all over just as fast
Grace at OpenLinkNight #412
You have managed to write down some of the feelings I have in a subway... "Please let me be!" And the mad rush...
ReplyDeleteI know how this feels - people rushing in and just locked on their phones too. But a short shuteye is good.
