A chance to breathe again breaking my love into pieces
one for you, one for me, and some for we
Trains like caterpillars, rolling by lights reflecting off of the metallic sides creating a pattern of sunshine on the platform
I step on and sit.
Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday
I just step on
and sit
One day for music, one day for books, some with nothing but blank cold stares
Inspiration hits and runs with zero trace of being caught
Shame, guilt, and fear boil and come back to a simmer
I get off and walk
Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday
I just get off and walk
Up the block people from all over the country come to visit throughout the year
The block where famous celebrities come and go
The block that always feels so cold even when the sun is shining
I look at the ice skating rink and wish to glide too
I open the doors, type my same code in, put my things away and walk
Walk, elevate, walk
Obey, lift, talk, listen
Walk, more walking, break, walk
Obey some more, walk some more, and maybe it’s time to go home
Put jacket back on, zip up and walk
Walk to the train that doesn’t sparkle anymore
Walking so fast my feet sometimes tangle
One leg over the metal and the following comes through
Desperation reaches when the doors open
An empty window seat please, please,please
A solid seating, comfortable, no creeps
