What’s that odd rumbling?
A vintage streetcar rounds Church.
I look up. Day. Made.
-Matt Foley (Train #162 [1914 SF])
Harmonic heaven.
A man, his voice and guitar
Serenades us all.
-Matt Foley (Train #1426)
“now arriving” blares,
but J train is not moving?
just confused and late.
-S.M. Williams
her bag hits my chin,
I curse to myself.
it hits me again.
-S.M. Williams
driver screams at man,
tourist just wants to stop here,
should have gone to Rome.
-S.M. Williams
water drips on head,
no umbrella in my hand,
wish I was outside
-S.M. Williams
A man is squabbling,
Something about basketball.
She smiles politely.
-Matt Foley (Train #1501)
Hear the piercing noise?
Stand clear while steps are moving
Underground we go
–ELF
Finally a J!
“My final stop is Glen Park”
Good thing there’s Bart.

See your train pull in
As I board on other side
You didn’t see me
school kids scream, my work
outfit sucks. earbuds in ears,
fingers on iPods.
–a.k.
Listening to songs
Crying behind sunglasses
I miss my baby
we stopped in the tunnel
we stopped in the tunnel again
nobody said a word
J muni
packed in like sardines
always slow
I arrived early
to find you selling my soul…
kaiser kills, bart sells
Dog, shaking. His mom
Says, “He’s afraid of the J-
Church.” I say, “Me too.”
–E.K.L.
I’m spoiled with this seat
Should the that lady get it?
Maybe to spoil is to stand

Church and 30th.
articulated
high tech future of my youth–
at Rio Vista!
An experiment
In what happens when no one
Has showered for days.
–E.K.L.
Show me a J-Church
That’s on time, and I’ll show you
A talking beansprout.
