Wheeled alone, whose heavy-as-I-slip is too late,

Uses the elevator to strip down, cool down. 

That the train, speeding in darkness, is passed under

I hope, and sees my I Ching and lunch.  My clothes

Carefully straight, extra minutes the platform there,

Jersey and tights fifteen minutes late.  Even mind

Morning sharing, yellow, Starbucks, the station to

Read the I Ching and don’t drive a heavy backpack.

Take sharing, see too late today with the train, the

Head using those for my sweat a stop sign and don’t. 

 

Wheeled wings, speeding in darkness

Alone or sharing an underpass with a car

Whose driver I hope sees my yellow backpack,  

Heavy today with the I Ching and lunch and clothes.  

As I slip carefully through red lights and stop signs, 

Too late for Starbucks, I head straight to the station

Using those two or three extra minutes to take

The elevator down to the platform. There I

Strip down to my jersey and tights to let my sweat

Cool down and read the I Ching and don’t even mind

That the train is fifteen minutes late this morning.
