The Subway at 2am

You're waiting for the train And it's 10 minutes late. It's only 10 minutes, And there are people around. Most of them are drunk And a few are asleep against the columns. Someone just sat next to you But neither you nor they care, Much, But you'd still rather they didn't. There's a voice announcing Things you can't do Smoking Eating Drinking Living Being happy Having a timely train.

It's 9 minutes now, Only 9 minutes. So you think about life Just to pass the time. Some guy is laughing At something stupid, Not funny at all, probably, And some girl is talking loudly As if her friends can't hear her From two feet away And someone is trying to talk On their cell phone, In the subway, Hah.

The train is 8 minutes away now, Only 8 minutes. But when your friends are elsewhere And you are sitting next to some guy, Some smelly guy, And your phone won't work (Oh, you too?) And even when the train gets here You'll still be an hour away from home -

Those 8 minutes

Well, 7 now,

Are an eternity to your full bladder.
