Day Two. New Train.
 |
| Not New. |
This train is newer. It still looks like parts are from the
70’s. The crushed red velvet seats are enough to take anyone back. Thankfully,
this car is air-conditioned. I’m tired of sticking to my clothing. I had to buy
another pack of gum again to ride the subway. Note to self: acquire more
coins…or just stop being a cheap ass and buy the right amount of subway token
at one time.
It’s just so unlike what I’m used to. Nobody in America uses
coins, which makes absolutely no sense…pun intended…Why do we have a currency
that is partially useless? I mean, we all like quarters but not because they
are useful, but because they are fun to count and flip. But that’s America for
you.
I really enjoy when the train does around corners,
especially in a car like this. The new subway trains are all connected, like a
giant metal caterpillar. The cars are connected by metal panels that slide and
maneuver together, creating a kind of joint. I’m guessing it’s where the doors
would be on a normal car. Watching the
car attached bounce around and slither around corners is entertaining to me.
Every one seems oblivious to the fact that we’re essentially surfing through
dark tunnels below a huge city.
This brings another though to mind. Has no one seen Midnight Meat Train but me? I wonder if
this subway ends in some weird vampire-human-bat colony that cuts out you
tounge as initiation to their clan? Maybe I’m dreaming.
