All of us know where we’re destined
And right after we pay for the toll,
We’ll be traveling down the intestine
Of the giant that swallows us whole.

Brawny monster exposes his veins,
On the subway map of New York.
Searching tentacles wait for the trains,
Where the 5 and the 6 make a fork.

The electrical worm swerves its body,
To the beat of the sleepless city,
To the echoing steps of somebody
Who got lost in the maze of graffiti.

Here, the shrills of the breaks, never sudden,
Are awaited with calm expectation
And the light at the end of the tunnel,--
Is a 6 train approaching the station.

Thanks Vicky, I didn't think this one would re-surface again.
