Two Hours
I stand and grab the pole
on the N20 en route
to Flushing-Main Street.
Thirty minutes passed,
I’m waiting for the express
train to pull in now.
The 7 train lets
me read The DaVinci Code
with music playing.
Fifty minutes passed,
I weave through busy city
workers in Time Square.
Before I know it,
another forty minutes have passed
and I’m in Harlem.
I’m in West Harlem,
the home of City College,
where I do research.
