A poem I commissioned a man with a typewriter in the subway at Union Square on Feb 19th, 2015. Realized I never got to sharing it anywhere, but I am not one to hoard such small treasures for myself. Here is "Beautiful Women on a Train" as it is typed on the sheet of paper before me:
"Silence amongst a muse
or a siren
I think to give cause aid
But am lost to thought most days
Most gaze end at a stop
And for all I wish to communicate
my confidence of late
Falls short of troubadour
as security
ask for more
But the opening day
Is nagging me
With taunts of time
and I have watched so many days
I feel I know you amongst the many
But too many make me think
I'd waste ones time

Beautiful Women on a Train

New York has so many amazing things happening all the time, you practically trip over artists and creative projects coming and going in the subway. It's energizing at times, overwhelming at others, but it's the ebb and flow of the city and the many people who live here.
