"The NoMa-Gaullaudet Station"
By Dex
The metro is a short walk
and there is a couple side by side in front of me
the woman has the worst bbl
I have ever seen in person
where her slim thighs do not touch
and her artificially filled ass
has settled in uneven shapes
like an upside down hors d’oeuvres
two Swedish meatballs on a toothpick
I am deeply curious
if he prefers her this way
it must have been an awfully flat ass
We are overtaken by three men
white, in three variations of the same clothes
one has a freshly broken arm
one carries a clear plastic bag with two foil wrapped corn cobs
and a loose potato
I want to know where they are going
and where they have come from
and why they would carry food like that
and how he broke his arm
and why his soft cast extends
from above his elbow and over his palms
must be a bad break
I have never broken a bone
not even my nose
I imagine it must be more painful
than the concussion I gave myself
a month and a half ago.
In just shy of 9 minutes
I have reached the metro station
still wasting money on a card
when I should be jumping the gate
I still think I am too good to act poor
except that I am
too poor for train fare
too poor for a broken arm
too poor for a fake ass
