From Tokens

Transport(s)

The weedy lilacs line the viaduct
dragging their scent on the concrete
walls.
Inside the subway car
only you can smell the metal dust
electric, unaware.

Facing forward with fast intent
you urge the motorman on
with thwacks on your strat.
He doesn't hear.

At an undisclosed location
the dispatchers doze.
