Rush Hour Rhapsody
Morning Symphony: This subtitle emphasizes the poem's focus on the sounds and rhythms of the commuter train journey.
Steel serpent slithers, dawn's first light in chase, Bleary faces huddle, lost in private space.
Suitcase symphony, a rhythmic click-clack beat, coffee steam ascends—a morning's bittersweet.
The newspaper whispers secrets; its headlines are grim and bold. A businessman hunched, a story yet untold.
Teenage dreams unfurl in earbuds, worlds unseen, A symphony of silence, a life just in between.
An old woman smiles, eyes crinkled, warm and bright, recalling sunlit meadows bathed in golden light.
A young couple murmurs, hands entwined and tight. A future yet unwritten, bathed in the morning's light.
The train screeches, the brakes sing a mournful song, another station beckons, and another life moves on.
The steel serpent pauses, doors hiss open wide, and a human tide ebbs outward, into the city's stride.
