Public Transport Nation - Rant

PUBLIC TRANSPORT NATION AH..the joys of public transportation The “T”, the “El”, the “Tube” short trips through hell wading through the masses of humanity clinging to the subways lack of sanity sleeping men and women – homeless sprawled upon the benches, the less fortunate among us – “bums” redefined as “monetarily deficient”. “Elderly” – strap clutching hangers-on ignored by the seated “texters and tweeters” video game players, and “up-skirters” inhaling the toxic cocktail of perfumes, colognes, body lotions, hair sprays, hair gels, and anti-body odor poisons - choking on the inhaled culture of diversity Focused on one spot lest eye contact occur swaying to the music of too-loud ear buds, strobe lighted rumble through darkness, flashes of life, of history, never fully known.
