PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

Sitting in Pennsylvania Station, NYC

       seemed lonely to me

I chatted momentarily with a steelworker

til he dashed off to Massachusetts

A pretty girl said “Hello”

I felt interested in her until she hopped

         a train to Chicago

Another lady caught my eye but she

          ran for the Long Island Railroad

so I got up and walked over to Luchow’s Bar

          for a beer

I asked the bartender if he’d be here

          the next time I cam in

He would but the lady next to me was

              off to Miami

then I looked at the clock

It was time for me to catch a train

         back to Trenton and onward

until I was home again

I tipped my hat to a waitress and hurried

             to catch my train
