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
