This poem is about my hour-long commute to my job in downtown Chicago from the suburbs. The mornings are especially hard, as I find myself having too much time in my own head to reminisce and miss those I left behind in New York.
Wistful Reminiscing
I zip my coat and brace for pelting rain
Dreading the commute; a way-too-long ride.
My pants are soaked while waiting for the train.
On board, I sit sandwiched one on each side
Wishing for the rare single seat to hide.
After a ride, there's a mile-long walk, too.
It's way too much time to think about you.
