Subway
Subway It’s 3 a.m. on the subway. I’m high and lonely. A little girl in a womans body. Oversized hoodie and ripped jeans. Messy bun and tear stained cheeks. An empty stomach under a shattered heart. I can’t stand the house we shared anymore. Holes from your angry fists Unpatched in the walls. Memories of fights in the kitchen. I’m going crazy with shame, That I never...

Morning, 8 AM. Kyoto Subway Station. A single gaijin, a foreigner surrounded yet standing out in the crowd. The train clips along, slows down, stops, starts up again repetitively. Whilst humanity surrounds, one can still feel so alone....

Heading Downtown by Subway
The escalator keeps descending; Seemingly, it’s never-ending, Taking riders deep into The bowels of the earth.

Scrolling signs are indicating When the closest train will come – That is, if you’re in luck. Minutes tick by, generating Lots more people congregating But you’ve made...

I found a seat beside the window, and looked at all the grim faces in the compartment. I carried a book about art history. How many people...

I seldom take a book with me more reading entertainment watching others turn their pages, body-language a literary giveaway the positioning of their heads how torsos are tilted right or left, perhaps Representative of one's politics – foreign occupation by written words of another one can't tell a book by its cover but a whole lot revealed by the measure of pages read...lack of conversation and how eyes avert.......

Drove for thirty minutes to Subway Station, Took a train for forty minutes, Got into another for only ten minutes, reached Queen's Park. Mornings are hectic, found a seat beside the window, looked at all the faces around. It was an university-bound train, many young faces, fashionable jeans, wearing T-shirts with interesting quotes - from "...

Subway
A lady on the subway Breaks down and cries from someone drawing her portrait. I guess, she has never seen how beautifUl she is before. She is art, just like you... Tears or not, when you see your reflection. Realising you're a masterpiece is just the start.....

The Subway
The Subway By LoLa Waiting for never Bathing in silence Protected from weather Where silence is violence Forever we roam Eternally aligned This box car is home Suspended in time Lights flicker with hope This feels like a dream Unspoken ways to cope Pain that happens in between Wayward souls wander Destinations still unknown Welcome echos pull us under feeling that we're not alone Strange vibrations illuminated No time exists between trAin stations In Destinations...

Premium Member Sounds of the Subway
Whip, click, clip, umbrellas flatten near the stairs Stomp, slap, clap, echo footsteps here and there Rumble, rattle, honk! goes the subway along the tracks “Hey”, “Wait”, “No!”, voices shouting are just the facts. Scrape, screech, hiss, loud noises of metro brakes Clack, shudder, ping! sounds the electric doors make Clamp, clomp, pound, as the people stamp inside Whoosh, whisk, hummm,...
