Commuters
Misty-eyed chronicles
glide bythe lines written on their faces.
Relative to all and nothing,
their gazes glaze glowing stations:
a paper falls and tumbles
twisted by underground rumbles
and mumbles of eternal shufflers
in a rat-race chase where speed
and haste choose the transportation
of the quickest; opening doors,
Destination reached – Escape – Release Breathe –
