TRANSPORTED / Commuter’s Last Wish

Commuter’s Last Wish
by E Fitz Smith

You talk wildly
and I listen,
captive of your
strong opinion.

Please tuck your knees
as I silently scream.
Your groovy boots
have a split in the seam.

When we rattle rails
over the last river,
torture soon to end,
relief delivered.

If there were terror...
in the tunnel...
before this last stop...
I would still be your patriot friend.
