Checking tickets

The rumbling hum lulling sleep

Until the nasal request

That cuts through even headphones

-

We all dig through bags bad pockets

In search of justification

To sleep in the moving carriages

-

All eyes get drawn to the too quick

Shuffle and tap against the doors

That won't open yet

-

Even slumberers pay attention

Some betting for capture

And others escape

-

We roll in, the squeal of tires

Slowly, too slowly the doors part

The quick slip of escape

-

A collective sigh

No matter the opinion

The event is over and sleep is lulled back
