Subway Salsa

A subway musician with salsa-like beat In the sea of commuters, all surging, Made some do a double-take at such a treat, While out of the crowd was emerging… A couple who dropped both their bags and their coats To grasp shoulders and waists to start dancing. They swiveled their hips as if sowing their oats In a ballroom, their minds on romancing. We stood on the platform, admired their moves And thought, what a fabulous city, Where people are able to practice their grooves And where beauty eclipses the gritty.
