METRO IN MEXICO


smashed brown skin mosh pit 
an orgy defrayed for transport
and clothes

counting stops
i stare at that finger
imagine swirling my tongue
sucking it

jostling unison pogos
with eyes seeking global positioning 

we defer to the short woman 
shouting to sell noise whistles

that soul under his headphones
bought for the brand, to cancel thought
he listens to a music
i could not bear

drown out the sad 
echo, deftly burnished 
through forty years 
hoeing the mantra

in cornfields of the maya
in cornfields of midwest

more brown fingers clutching silver poles
thumbs like toes to chew

the stations glide past
our huddle of warmth

desire under the turnstiles

the metro pendulum

station to station

the terminal love
