Heading downtown on the A
wasting time, wasting space
The look of failure everywhere,
on every wretched face
Spring is now upon us,
but no one seems to care
Desperate tension all around
I can feel it in the air
Many faces, Many names
all of them unknown
This city is a fucking cesspool
that I choose to call my home
I feel I want to shout it out
but don't bother to try
The last thing that this P.M rush needs
is one more crazy guy
So, I sit and scribble nonsense
I don't even call a poem
And take solace in this isolation
though I'm clearly not alone
I know someone is out there
and they understand it clear
Disconnection is a way of life,
at least when your living here.

You've captured the feeling of apathy and claustrophobia that winter in Manhattan can bring on, just perfectly.

Thanks for the kind words guys.

And don't get me wrong, I love NYC, but sitting on the train today in those moments, it was exactly how I felt.
