Commuting Poet

At the end of the day it's like you've seen it all, but, as each new day begins we know that we haven't, it's all about to start again. Commuting under the city is the most exciting, boring, stressful, relaxing, joyful, infuriating, confusing, and empowering experience that a person can have in New York City. The commuting experience is like no other, whether you love it or hate it, it definitely shapes your day, for better or worse. Even when you hate it, you love it, because it's part of the underbelly of the city, moving all of us to and from jobs and experiences. Writing poetry about riding the subway is the author's way of acknowledging commuters everywhere; exploring and observing human behavior so that the reader is delighted with the fact that she understands them and what they experience each day. Commuters want to be understood. Only fellow commuters appreciate the poetic dance that is commuting from point A to point B. The emotions that we feel and the things that we observe along the way during each and every commuter form a silent, knowing bond between us.Sit back, relax, and enjoy the ride of the road.
