TRANSPORTATION ALTERNATIVES II

It has come to my attention
that people are assholes.
Not all people,
of course,
just the people
who live in New York
and take public transportation.

Why is it
that people
out in society
don’t know how to act?
People crowding into cars
before others get out!
Idiots eating their messy smelly foreign meals
right next to me,
not even offering a taste!
And girls
– gels upon girls upon girls –
in tastelessly tight skirts
and perfectly loose morals
refusing to sit on my lap
or leave the train with me!

Where is the respect?
Where is the consideration?
Where is it that the public
will do whatever I want
whenever I want it?

Something’s gotta be done
to the people on the trains.
I’m thinking razor blades on the doors
and gas in the vents.
Who’s with me?
