I watch the face of the moles
Leaving the holes in the ground
As they scurry off to their daily labors

Sullen faces
Hollow faces
Pondering why
Boredom awaits

Dirty sidewalks
Cracked pavement
Honking horns
As they emerge

Coffee regular
The way a New Yorker orders it
Spills from the paper cup
As the subway jostle them onward

Expressionless faces
Thinking of excuses to tell the bossman
Only hoping to earn another greenback
Knowing they have to do this again, another day
