01-14-16 Stand Clear Of The Closing Doors

In a dark subway station
Standing on the platform
Next to a tall steel beam
Coated with layers of paint
Chipped in a rainbow of age
Like rings inside a tree trunk
Ageless beauty in plain sight
Always running late to work
Thinking about the weekend
Reading billboards on the wall
Filthy rats scurry across the tracks
Watching people rush through life
Delayed due to train traffic ahead
