Nobody smiles on commuter trains
or sings in the stations.
So natural, a purging of air
through the chest and out of the voice box
an organ playing the organ
rattling the rafters
the squeal of turning shoes;
nobody wants him here.
The policeman dragged him away
cracked his head off the floor
and I saw him crying
because nobody smiles on commuter trains
and nobody sings...
