In the City

SUBWAY
eyes watching
sweat beads on face
grime
outlinging bitten nails
falling to the right
can't stay up
leans on my shoulder
"Are you alright?"
"Mmmbrmbrm...
thought you were someone else."
scoots over
eyes watching
a notebook
curled edges
pen touches paper
only slides off
[like Monty Python's castle arghh...]
syringe falls
no cap on needle
back into pocket
soon gone
[sadness
want to cry]
eyes watching
