I've become what I promised myself I wouldn't a zombie writing these words onto this sheet of paper I had to reference the 110 bus for the date November 5, 2010 floated across an electronic screen it's grown colder colder than before The leaves no longer on the trees have adorn the ground in various shades of yellows and oranges but mostly brown The dampness of the air only makes things appear more ***** It almost makes me long for snow at least then things will appear clean only I will know that underneath it's surface lays the dirt trash and clutter making my streets a swamp residual poverty The Mystic River almost looks appealing today I wish I could bathe in the decadence of it's slime and dirt and blown tires and shopping carts an urban soup The station is full of it's usual assembly line of rude people who's lives are far more important than yours "No thank you", man who gives away the paper There's no good news today The rain is falling in a pattern on the train window all around the head of a man directly across from me almost in the shape of a halo maybe he is God or at least and Angel "Stand behind the yellow line doors are closing"
