Evening Train

High-tops, flip flops
Three tall girls, school uniforms in blue
Yellow, green, multiplied, strangers
Underground

Out of focus, out of frame
Three tall girls, gum snapping, cut the line
Divided, multiplied, strangers
Underground

The day’s grown old, the fainting sun

They hold hands, make plans
Map the middle distances and yawn
Divisible by one, strangers
Underground

The day’s grown old, the fainting sun
The day’s grown old, the fainting sun
