Slow crawl through brackish
brick and mortar
North Side dissonance, so
poorly named
You should run to warmer
neighborhoods
White train, brown line
better off with green
Salt-stained floors gray out
your browns & beiges
Even your graffiti is
too soft core
Glass-free parking
spaces
And pristine platforms, condos
winter boots
Bros & wool jackets
Merino scarves
This is a brown line train
to the Loop
where else? what else?
what more? what’s left?
Take me some place special
somewhere nice
Break the mold and tease
the status quo
I’m just standing here
waiting on the train
Take me across the river
toward my dreams
This is a brown line train
to the Loop
