Approach

John T. Hitchner

Evening falls upon the city
with rush of rain and umbrellas,
busses and taxis filled, taken.
A wanderer seeks shelter
down a subway kiosk.
He follows angles and stairs,
searches pockets for correct change,
and finding not enough,
seeks fortune
with words spoken before,
hands offered before.
Nothing given, nothing taken,
except eyes that slide away
toward tokened metal mouths,
entrances and exits.
He stands between,
and hears down a concrete tunnel
a train approach,
its voice like shattered glass,
familiar...final.
