Subway Stairs (4/10, for ML)
That curved young man strays
from what century,
which play, dragging,
his epee
behind him idly
wa-
ving, embla-
zoning my day
with quirk-
y small circles’
lurk-
ing dance
up stairs,
so highly unaware
of the cosmic chance
he dares inspire
in the city, air and me,
glistening history,
compressing today
to its peculiar destiny
