Subway
Station
By Sue Machlin
On the way to
my writing class
I saw a man
washing the white
tile wall
of the 28th Street
Subway Station
and whistling
Kumbaya, boys, Kumbaya
di da da da da da da
When the train came
I left him
wondering. . .
and whistling. . .
and wrote it in
my journal to
share
with the class
and show them
how one can find
poems anywhere.
