An Instant on the L Train

An Instant on the L Train

A Poem by A T Lupian

Sweltering humidity afflicts the city’s

Pretentious onlookers’ gaze.

Through the scorching heat waves,

The train slowly squeals screeching to a halt.

For an ephemeral duration of time,

in this enclosed tin capsule,

She turns her alluring face.

Our eyes steadily meet. 

This everlasting concentration

Is disrupted by the prying doors.

Will I ever see her again?
