en masse -------------------------------------------
I feel the world as vapors
falling through my fingers
abysmal clouds of nothingness
float on the milky way
float my whole life away
morning trips on the subway
stopping nowhere
reading the Times
everybody is in and out of frame
my mind is drifting with them
shopping bags
coffee, smokers cough
and the uneasiness
of everyone
until the squeaking of the rail
breaks the silence
and snaps
me back to nothing
as the masses dismount
and the doors clang closed
behind them
Submission Name: en masse
