May 24: Poem of The Day:Train Etiquette

a gentleman hardly ever sits
on the new york subway system
while a generous woman
will likely runout of cash before she hits
midtown

a potential political candidate will tire facial muscles
practice-smiling at the cute-faced babies
of hard-faced parents
while a meek visitor from Britain will NEVER
discover
which way is uptown or downtown, which line is express or local
and mocha-brown cuties have absolutely no need
to pickup
the stuff that they drop on the floor
