SUBWAY DREAMIN'

at grand central station in nyc.

going home.

heading towards the subway entrance.

where is it.

must be downstairs.

over there by that small tunnel

walking the narrow tiled staircase.

entering a large underground area with token booths, gates and a variety of entrances and exits.

getting token at a booth.

which entrance?

over there.

go through a small tunnel to the platform.

there's a long triangular platform.

trains stop and go on both sides and both ends both ways of this platform.

the screeching of the converging trains at the station is loud.

there are flashes and arcing of the electrified rails and trains.

must go to the end of the platform.

get on train.

yea traveling toward bronx.

i'm on the wrong train.

train becomes elevated in bronx.

train travels on tracks running parallel to 3rd ave. L.

not my subway line.

it rattles along and makes a stop north of 149th street.

i don't know this line.

it should make a stop at fordham road.




i'll never know as sunshine strams into my bedroom.
