Underground Events
The subway is an attack on your senses. You walk down the steep,
smelly staircase onto the subway platform. On the far right wall, a broken
clock shows that the time is four-thirty. You wonder how long it has been
broken. A mother and her crying child are standing to your left. She is
trying to clean dried chocolate syrup off the child's messy face. Farther
to the left, two old men are arguing about the most recent tax increase.
You hear a little noise and see some paper trash roll by like a soccer ball.
The most interesting thing you see while you are waiting for your subway
train is a poster. It reads, "Come to Jamaica." Deep blue skies, a lone palm
tree, and sapphire waters call you to this exotic place, which is so far from
where you actually are.
