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.
