I ran
onto the Subway train
I said
"Hey man
here and now
I am giving you the test"

I took out all my toys
set up my stand
"Hey man
assemble my toys
on my four cornered
stand"
On a train
going through
a dark tunnel
this man
set up my toys
telling his story

His mother and father
lost on a subway
going back and forth
forever and ever
between the Bronx and Brooklyn

"Man there it is
in the pattern
you put on my stand"

The train
screeched
coming to a halt

My toys fell
Scattered

I looked up
then like the
others
I looked down
into my newspaper
