Subway Poem # 7

A bird in the subway is worth two in the air, I always say.

Subway Poem # 7

a man with a parrot perched 

on his shoulder,

in time with me,

parallel, down the stairs.

unfazed the bird

of royal blue plumage,

unfazed the man

with ruby in ear.

and then we part ways

                                                                                    on the platform.

                                                          (they're queens-bound.)

                                                                                        the parrot that travels

                                                                                      with man 

                                                                                       underground.
