Early morning

Rise before the sun

Shuttle, cold darkness

Eyes closed

Sound of traffic

Walk in the cold

Wait for the train

Minutes more

Frozen breath rises

Get on the train

Bell rings, doors close

Find a seat

Screeching rails

Train is silent

Bundled, withdrawn

Feeling fatigue

Station down below

Crowds of people press

Bodies stir air

Will it end?
