Church
Subway stations are the chapter houses of the city,
where homeless people go to pray for warmth,
subterranean echo chambers to the choir of trains,
which carry our tired dancing bodies into the light.
Advertisements set up like the images of saints,
hovering over our fate, selling us a ticket to paradise,
as the dirt of our boots falls to the worn out tiles.
We all are people here, trying to leave a life behind
while passing to the next. Holding coffee cups
like offering bags, asking for just one more day.
