Weird Things on a Subway Ride in New York City
I"m on the subway going from Manhattan to Brooklyn
It's and hour ride
You can see a lot in an hour
Sometimes more than you want to see
Today was one of those days
Guy across the way from me
Maybe in his 50's or 60"s
Dressed in a nondescript manor
Browns that don't match
Already a problem in city where black is the uniform
Somewhere in Brooklyn he whips out a Bic pen
You know that pen, it's iconic in shape and design
Are you familiar with the blue cap with the long edge ?
Dude proceeds to stick the edge in his ear
Mission: to remove ear wax
Woman next to him is reading a book
Turns her head to witness the carnage
Tries to move left but she is wedged in against a passenger
Has to sit there until we reach the stop
Everyone is grossed out while he digs away
Stuff you see on the subway that you wish you didn't
At least he's not clipping his finger nails I think
A day in the life on the subway
New York City
Next Stop Canal Street
Everyone gets off
It's and hour ride
You can see a lot in an hour
Sometimes more than you want to see
Today was one of those days
Guy across the way from me
