Nowhere

Posted by SgtPepper | Posted in , | Posted on Wednesday, April 23, 2008

It’s one of those glances you get a Thursday afternoon, when everyone already left, and you’re all alone, sitting on the desk. You decide it’s late, and think about finishing the day after, so you get your things and leave, you see the janitor on your way out and you smile, knowing he still has a long night. Then as you walk to the subway you see some faces, most of them tired and as you take the stairs down, you see the sticky floor that characterizes these entrances, you take out ticket and wait for it to come, and it’s a lonely place right now, unlike the mornings. There’s a bright but dead light you tend to avoid, and you make a small movement of anxiety as you hear the railroad lines vibrating and that acute and long noise as the subway stops. You get in and sit on the first seat you see, your eyes are closing but you don’t want to miss your destiny. And as you look out of the window each time it stops, as the name of the station flashes, you wish it said “nowhere”.
