PLEASED TO MEETCHA

24 HUNDRED AND FIFTY SEVEN STEPS
A HANDFUL OF CHANGE, THE TURNSTILE ON THE LEFT
ELEVATING DOWN AND OUT OF SIGHT
THE FIRST SUBWAY SECOND SEAT ON THE RIGHT.

TWO DOLLARS FIFTY CENTS FOR A CUP
DOUBLE CREAMED, SUGAR COFFEE BURNS IN MY MOUTH.
SEVENTEEN STOREYS ELEVATING UP
EIGHT FIFTY NINE UP ON THE CLOCK

PLEASED TO MEETCHA
PLEASED TO MEETCHA.

ONE HUNDRED EIGHTY MINUTES ‘TILL MY LUNCH
SEVENTEEN STOREYS ELEVATED DOWN
THIRTEEN PEOPLE WAITING IN A LINE
FOUR DOLLAR SANDWICH BURIED IN THE GROUND.

FOURTEEN FIFTY NINE AND A HALF MINUTE MORE
THIRTY SECONDS I’M OUT THE DOOR
ELEVATING DOWN AND OUT OF SIGHT
FIRST SUBWAY CAR, SECOND SEAT ON THE RIGHT.

PLEASED TO MEETCHA
PLEASED TO MEETCHA

767 IS MY CREDIT CARD
767IS MY DEBIT CARD
767 IS MY OHIP CARD
767 IS MY HOCKEY CARD
767 IS MY DRIVERS CARD
767 IS MY RENTAL CARD
767 IS MY MENTAL CARD

PLEASED TO MEETCHA
