I was waiting on a subway platform

The last train was due in seven minutes

There would not be another train in eternity

Creatures were being celebrated

In the town that I called my home

These creatures disgusted me

I felt dirty as I passed through them

Their bright colours meant little

I looked down the platform

Into the darkness of the deep tunnels

And although I could hear it in the distance

I could not see the headlights of my train

Summer Nights in the City
