Subway Troubles


Down into the underground

puddles of sludge like muddy green milk

what a cow that must have been

12:01.

Last train Uptown leaves at 12:00.

Must go down to go up.  

three hours in a labyrinth of tunnels

Rats scrutinize me, escaping into holes like puzzle pieces

No service, no concierge

I can hear the minotaur breathing

Disguised as a sheep

but really a man

I crawl through the maze 

caverns of filth and rust stained granite

Breathe.  Experience.  Learn.

Call me Theseus.
