City Trains II



But sometimes
You are also
A moment outstretched
Of solitary thought
Between where I came from
And where I am going
A chink in time
To slowly
Leisurely
Think things through.
Things that otherwise
remain unthought.
Like whether we are really headed somewhere.
You and me.
Oh mighty metallic centipede.

City Trains


Under the El 
by J. Reedy



Are we really headed somewhere?
You and Me
Oh mighty metallic centipede.
Or are we merely 
shuttling back and forth
like an abandoned broken toy?
