Leon Freilich, Verse Responder: Subway Upgrade

Subway Upgrade

Each day I take the F train
From Park Slope to the City;
The slow, jammed cars all make 
A picture far from pretty.

The floors are heaped with gum,
The stickiness preserved,
And etches cloud the windows.
The "F" is wholly deserved.

I think I'll move to Bed-Stuy
For the sake of transit aid; 
It's serviced by the A train–
Who'd ask for a better grade?
