PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

A subway tunnel

so dirty and decaying

some sewage dripping

graffiti of the ancients

half heartedly spray-painted

the soot from 10,000 trains

affixes itself to walls

a desperate soul

willing to battle the rats

goes down with flashlight

Do not enter or cross tracks

an orange sign will exhort

we fear the mole people

living in abandoned stations

co-exist with gators

dark world right under our streets

the rumble of trains beneath

a world of darkness

we shall never be privy

and thankful at that
