transit

When falling asleep on the metro

always make sure

to get a seat at the corner.

(nobody likes a shoulder leaner on-er)

If you can

ensure that your metro

is lit in yellow.

White light never reminds you of your bedroom

and in dreams, at least,

you should get to go home.

Forearms make for handy pillows.

But even the most patient

and gentle and kindly of forearms

will eventually leave you, for sleep

as you have left it, for sleep

And waking up sans vital limb

is never too much fun.

When falling asleep on the metro

do not worry about missing your station.

Your body is a friendly co passenger

it will tap you on the shoulder

at just the right moment.

It knows when it is time to go.
