Thoughts While Waiting for the Subway

                I don't know how this poem will end,
                    I don't know if it shall;
                when I begin to write something,
                    its fate is trifurcal:

                Will all three stanzas march in file
                    before the train rolls in
                or will I have to wait on for
                    the coming afternoon?

                Or will disjointed it remain
                    like string stretched on a loom
                suspended animation--
oh!
                    to be its final tomb?
