Imelda Marcos Goes Tube Hopping
Doors slam
The world recedes to a quick blur
Lines paint themselves on my mind
Inside this island
A humming hive, of reluctant propinquity
Faces look, and look away
Modular humans
Looking at little screens, like lives depend on it
I play my usual game, and look at all the shoes
My stop arrives
Daivittu, por favore, please, don't lean on the door
Before you get off
This Metro Ride
