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
