I realize how much

I love the city when

in bouts of nighttime

music it

gives me inspiration

my sneakers against

subway tile

thudding I emit a fuck

before I realize my train

is pulling in not 

pulling out a bobbing

head a black shirt hug

the joy of seeing someone

you did not expect

to tunes that make

me laugh in their

cleverness the joy

of shooting across a 

bridge in a city

of lights
