loose change found on the sidewalk
twenty eight cents
almost enough
to buy a half a cup of coffee

rush hour in the city
everybody and his brother
in a hurry to get nowhere fast
are you ready to go underground?
climb aboard the blue vestibule
stand next to the man
without a smile
eyes hidden by dark glasses.
