It's been so long since I've been on a bus, let alone on a subway. But i do love people watching. And at times I get bold enough to secretly take snapshots.
This poem brought back some memories.

Not only a poem but a story as well. Brought back a lot of memories of my transit ride in Chicago.

for an enjoyable read. In my opinion, Angely painted a vivid mental picture with her words.

Never been to NY, but love to visit big cities. I've ridden on city buses and watched the people getting off and on. This piece here is so simple and subtle that you almost miss just how meaningful it is. Sometimes I think we as people forget to look outside of ourselves and see that there are others around us. I like this poem. It's written beautifully without exaggerating the obviously simple uniqueness of all the people who make up a community.

I'm glad that you found this descriptive enough to show NY's atmosphere :D

to New York nor ridden the subway, but after reading this I get the general feel of the atmosphere inside the trains

Some of the best free-verse I have read in a while... Reminds me of the tubes in London, each line is like the jolt of the train on the tracks :) Your descriptions capture the people in their movements and everyday activities which makes this poem all the more charming. If only I knew NY better maybe I could gain even more from this piece... Oh well :)

you vividly put into writing the same feeling when I ride the train everyday.

I can't wait to read this right now i can't (stupid computer)but i will as soon as i can :)
