Subway Ride to the Village

so we took that     a train back
the window glass to remember explanations
so the subway     the way up from down
the din and the clash of streets defined by love

car seat of dream     the ocean its own beach
lest i knew the twentieth century
large romantic man in his forties singing love songs from car to car
best museum in new york

	god and his characters
	let’s try that one again now
	a subway ride where they’d never considered it
	remove the tape from the package
	i’ll have sparrows in my ears
	and a new pastrami sandwich and egg cream for you
