Monday, October 24
Big green rainboots with straps. Light light blue light red umbrella. Wet yellow brown hair. Beige baggy pants. Brown coat and tan scarf. Talking about Maine, Augusta, a camp and a lake. Talking about a marathon, a new one, “green” marathon, what, the runners don’t run on fossil fuels? Where are you going? Ah, that’s why I take the red line. I feel like… Kate feels… at her job. Movement, swaying, step aside for the passengers, Chinatown. Man looks like a kid scratches and cocks head and then two hands on the google phone, briefcase on the lap. Move the strap, Downtowncrossindooraontherightdowntoncrossin. See ya later, green rubber boots. Gold decorative and brown shoes. Step around get leverage on the train sway. “might be the other way, see the signs?” State street, blue line connection. Bing boon. Zebra bandana and cross legs with jeans and Nike shoes. Next to me crouched over laptop, Asian music videos, unmoving, hands on black plastic. North station, amtrak, commutarilnurthstasin. All hospital blue dress, clean, sanitary, bald head, dark blue Nike sports bag and newspaper. Glasses and thick eyebrows on wrinkled face, making pained expressions, the side of the glasses biting loose skin on scalp, like playdoh, sticking to the ear. Community college, sheets of rain, thick bright gray buildings with no tops, I 93 dark irons bridges roller coaster up street lights flick long backed up cars stuck jammed in the freeway, down again. Sullivnsquarbothsides. Nike black thick sports sandals white socks and a thin stream of water on redbrown white spotted floor. Zebra bandana asleep, or thinking… hunched upward and forward, black coat. Bed bath and beyond and grey-brown mounds of construction dirt. Concrete slabs from the ground dark wet spots like cake icing overflow, Wellington station. Two men with shoulder bags black briefcases on phones symmetrically cocked heads away from one another train coming look up move… Maldencentrnxt. Empty seats now. Ridged concrete blocks dark at top white at bottom bushes dark short tunnel lines of cable a green crane mount on building aide trees in front of trucks warehouses smokestack? Pipes and vents and parking lots intersection traffic lights between trees white tall houses rows and rows some yellow brick brown church a stadium tall lights two far away cell towers tops in grayness MALDEN CENTER, rain stopped. Everyone off. Oakgrovelaststopoakgrove. Garbage truck parked red lights men in flourescent green-yellow red gloves, thick trees, train slows, air pressure release, big stone bridge grid and broken grid overhang of leaves tinged red, train stops lets other pass, low groan of tracks, air pressure release, move again.
