Subway Poem # 27


standing on the platform 
of atlantic avenue
the old tile sign
still reads
pacific street
even though
the stop is now called 
atlantic avenue - barclays center

things change through time
time changes things
even me
it seems even me

everything conveys the sense
that all things are a/k/a today
and known by many names
gone incognito
with various aliases

and you may ask
what's in a name
it's just that i 
feel sad about 
impermanence
and temporality
and my mortality
