Subway Sorceress

A Witchy Abecedarian

All Hallow's Eve, and so my ride begins

Before the hoi polloi fill tunnels dim

Cunning as a serpent, I slither forth

Determined to play where others labor

Egress from the everyday, I pursue

For plodding, mundane life grinds all to dust

Glorious mischief I have planned tonight

Hijinks alarming, sure to vex and scare!

Into this vacant tunnel I will fly

(Joke in a Freudian vein if you wish)

Know that as I race, laughing through the gloom

Law, custom and protocol are erased!

Merrily will I meet rats and phantoms

Nodding at their desks, stout, delinquent guards

Oafishly will snore through my spell spawned speed

Pausing to review closed circuit footage

Queer glitches will excuse ignoring me

Racing through the tubes that let you travel

So blithely through your prosaic routines

Triumphantly will I use occult arts

Unbound, to do things wild, fast and obscene!

Vibrating with iconoclastic joy

Will I, a witch, own this buried treasure

Xerography of this dark catacomb

You would have seen my speeding form produce

Zooming through nothing, I will win all things!
