Into Work

Heading towards the community college I get on the bus slide in my Metrocard and I'm off Passing stores and pedestrians Watching the busy moving traffic on city streets Life in the metropolis is something fascinating to watch Soon I will be surrounded by hungry (to learn) ESL students Before heading into the college I stop off for eggs with tomato, salt, and pepper And later imbibe a large green tea This "fuel" keeps me going for the day Been working for a decade and a half at the college No students yet So I pen this poem and dedicate it to the hardworking people of New York City
