The Metro


Double rows of orange seats

hover along the train's sides.

Why do the cushion shades vary

from deep tangerine to yellowy grapefruit

to a terrible brown?

What cushion creator decided

to spice up the lurching metro car

with yet another shade of headache orange?

And the boxy chairs.

What force holds them up

with the fat man and his newspaper?

I wonder how many people notice

they have no legs.
