is scary.
it's dark and dangerous
and smells
like
the zoo
on a bad day, before
they clean
out the cages.
before they hose
down
the elephants
and monkeys,
and spray the place
with Lysol
and bleach.
and yet here we are
standing on
the platform
awaiting the train, our
token
in hand,
standing far enough
away
from the tracks so that
some maniac
doesn't push us in.
