Too Cool, But Not Really

He walks on the train, goes straight to the door to the next car, grabs the bar over my head and plants one foot on the door, leaning back on the door in a smooth, practiced move. He has black shiny dress shoes, black pants, and a knee length brown coat. He looks super badass…

Welcome to Earth! No One Cares.

There is a man yelling in the middle of the train. I believe he is speaking Spanish, but I have my headphones on and only know that I don’t recognize the words he is spouting during the lulls between songs. He has been going strong since we left the 145 street station and we are…

Chatterbox

Apathetic Couple

She had on her tight shiny pleather pants and he sat next to her in his badass black leather jacket. Her boots were ankle cut and her knees looked round in the almost painted on pants. His hands are in his lap holding his phone and he has a grey hoodie on underneath, his jacket’s…
