mr.turschmann:
dancing underground / may seem quite unusual / yet brings a smile
mr.turschmann:
glorious white fur / a warm blanket for Its host / domesticated
mr.turschmann:
amidst the bustle / i find a corner to lie / waiting patiently
mr.turschmann:
heading off to work / not to market, rather curb / feeding hungry souls
mr.turschmann:
herding commuters / to plow through vast corporate fields / weekend approaches
mr.turschmann:
stragglers and skylines / but for an instant in time / a view that won’t last
mr.turschmann:
winter approaches / as I feed my feathered friends / they understand me
mr.turschmann:
deep in weighty thought / the regal beast contemplates / life, love and chew toys
mr.turschmann:
flourishing romance / with garland and silver bells / city charm unveiled
mr.turschmann:
vibrant convenience / enticing passerby’s to / submit and indulge
mr.turschmann:
rubber carriage wheels / pause for papa and traffic / i enjoy the ride
mr.turschmann:
much to do today / leather shoes on concrete path / mind and feet racing
mr.turschmann:
winter rain above / i travel by warm steel box / destination, queens
mr.turschmann:
queens bound and waiting / stand clear of closing doors please / I’ll lean, maybe sit
mr.turschmann:
patiently waiting / terrazzo floor beneath my / tiny padded feet
mr.turschmann:
vents blowing hot air / bustling commute on all sides / dreaming of the beach
mr.turschmann:
on the avenue / sprouting metallic forest / engulfs the landscape
mr.turschmann:
winter coats and hats / listening on this morning / to trains rythmic roar
mr.turschmann:
lost in thoughts and phone / crackling overhead speakers / announce next station
mr.turschmann:
as I awaken / from greyed commuting slumber / frosted leaves await
mr.turschmann:
follow guiding light / and street corner aromas / yet ‘I’m not hungry
mr.turschmann:
soon to be at work / wrinkled suit, panama hat / weed perfumes the air
mr.turschmann:
waiting for my train / finding comfort where i can / steel handrail will do
mr.turschmann:
unknown figures pass / as fluorescent lights flood down / on all who stroll by
mr.turschmann:
a tree once stood here / stump, grass, and litter remain / now another stands
mr.turschmann:
tis the time of year / santa is coming to town / on a citibike
mr.turschmann:
through steel and motion / i glimpse to the other side / waiting for a train
mr.turschmann:
riders on the train / each donning their own style / some chic, some shabby
mr.turschmann:
so much to observe / walk past a mosaic wall / which i notice not
mr.turschmann:
conductor surveys / the echos of lone footsteps / on midnight platform
