Brutal
heat and sleaze
sweat and smells
stagnant and hopeless
as the morning commute begins

Vivid imagery. It’s like I’m in New York.
Glad to take you there! Great to see you here, thanks.
Brutal, stagnant and hopeless… That sums it up perfectly. I don’t even want to go near the hot smell.
No you don’t, trust me. *grin*
I like the direction you took this in. Beginning of the day versus the middle of the night. Just looking at the photo, I imagined an abandoned subway at three in the morning. Isn’t it great how a photo can convey so many different ideas? You definitely communicated the first word that popped into my head, which was “menacing.”
I aspire to “menacing”.
So descriptive. I’m glad I’m not there but for a few seconds you made me feel like I was there, waiting to walk down the steps and into the monotony and oppressiveness another day in the rat race.
This one is evocative, for sure. *grin*
I remember being scared spitless the first time on the subway in New York, you captured it perfectly.
Me too.
Never had the experience and now I’m pretty sure I don’t want to
lol
Harrr
Today, so far i have traversed London East to West and West to East on the Underground – your words are perfect for my mindset Brian!
I try to provide!
I miss NY…even the subways…maybe especially the subways, it was so easy to get around there
It’s a logical, if occasionally foul and mind-numbing, system, for sure.
Thanks for stopping in!
Morning commute is the death of me. Starting off a day on such a bad note, how undesirable.
Good times. Good sweaty, stagnant times.
Totally captures the torture of hot weather NYC morning subway commute.
From one who knows.
