Subway Story No. 4

Two subway workers walked along the rails on 42nd Street. They painted handles yellow. They waved their lanterns. Occasionally, they would touch the tracks to feel for the vibration of oncoming subway cars. They were unafraid of the third rail. They walked uptown, disappearing into the tunnels. By the time the train arrived they were gone. Posted by eku at February 5, 2004 12:02 PM
