The Symphony

A symphony played on the metro
and I listened to it alone,
as no one else seemed to notice-
Where breaks met wheels and
wheels met tracks
a cacophony of sounds playing
an eerie melody,
stop-go-stop-go-stop-go
and people get on
and people get off,
but no one stops to wonder
at the magnificence of it all-
a metal tube hurdling underground
with millions of tons of concrete
above and around us,
an architectual marvel-
but people still get mad when
the metro is delayed five minutes,
because they never stop to take it all in,
tey never stop to listen
to the symphony
