Notes About The Poem
Artist: Len Cicio
A Rare Look at a Second Avenue Subway Tunnel Never Used
Tunnel To Nowhere - Wayra
Tunnel to nowhere-
once the promise of a dream
abandoned neath city streets-
brought to light in color
through bold artistic fantasy.

Syllable count 5, 7, 7, 6, 8- Unrhymed
"Inside a never-used Second Avenue Subway tunnel. Aside
from some inspections by MTA workers, the tunnels have been
sealed for decades." Jose Martinez/NY1
"Stretching from 110th to 120th Street, it was built in the 1970s,
part of a still-unrealized goal of running subway trains all along
Manhattan's far East Side. It's a reminder of an era when
New York dreamed big- and of a time when New York didn't
have the money to fulfill its dreams." Spectrum News, NY1
