Hot. Hot and humid. Typical of a New york afternoon, in the tunnels below the city. The usual dank odor of the homeless was present, but something today was… different.

The subway was late again. Robin would be late for work another day in a row. What was he supposed to tell his boss? How would he explain that the subway was late without his boss not believing him. Robin hurried along the street to a taxi cab. “Which way?” the Cab driver ordered. “To my work please; just 3 blocks west.”

My hair blew back as the subway passed. As it slowed down to a stop and opened the doors, I tossed the backpack with my notes on the story about Finnigan on before me. Sooner I should get left in New York than them.

I was in the subway last week. A man looked at me. I could tell all he wanted was to talk, but the streets these days…I just wanted to get home. I cried myself to sleep that night.
Luke
He never failed to take the subway, never wanted to take anything but. He was never late; the same route every tuesday and thursday, always for the same reason. So many people, so many different lives and agendas; with so many people focused on their own life he could be who ever he wanted. It was an escape, his momentary pocket of freedom. He didn’t have to abide by the expectations of his parents or his friends, he was free. He could smile and wink at the girl five places down; he could ignore every single mom wanting his spot. But most of all he could let his fingers gently intertwine with the hand suddenly next to his. He could look at THAT person next to him, with out hesitation or the judging eyes of those around them, and say “Hey…i’ve missed you”.

subway, oneway, today i’ll go that way, tommorrow is anotherday but im always at a subway!

The subway smelled of rotting meat and sweat. The summers here were brutal. I can see the mans head in front of me bobbing to the music on his ipod. The way he looked I would have thought he stole the $300 ipod, listening to the rap he also riped off the internet.
Sweat rolled down my forehead. I want so badly to go home and take a shower. Hitting every pore in its path.

The Subway chain of restaurants are convenient and delicious fast food anomalies. They claim to be healthy, but they aren’t always the best option.

subway is a really good food restaurant. It’s pretty delicious, but I think jummy johns might be better. The bread is definitely better, and tastes fresher. Quiznos is pretty good too, although I hated it for a while because someone recomended a sandwich that was super gross.
Audrey McK
Kinda dark and dangerous always makes me nurvous getting on alone. lost so many times. all alone. worried and only making it worse. who are all these people. i take the stairs up and out. freedom. i never want to return. but i know i will.

And the words of the prophets are written there. Truth doesn’t need showmanship to exist. And there are always going to be long dark tunnels.

i get on the subway train, and I’m coming to see you for the last time. I know that I want it to be raining, setting some sort of dramatic scene. But it won’t be. It will just be sunny when I get there, and I’ll pet your dog, and I’ll forget what i planned to do.

The subway smelled of aftershave and cheap cologne.

hi
the subway is a brilliant restaurant. its quite cool that we can make our own sandwiches. The truth is , we’re just lazy. So subway comes in handy. The subway is also a convenient mode of transport
real fast. real easy real cheap!
Samudra Gupta
THe train is late. Again. It’s always late.
I stand and wait, looking down the tracks, into the darkness.
It’s cool down here; not so crowded today. What is it? is it a holiday?
i wait and wait.
Karima
I walked across the cold floors. They were only cold tonight. Cold in that disconnected, dead kind of way. Every other night the dark subway represented a way out; an escape. Tonight the train was taking me back to what I never wanted to confront again.

I sat on the subway and the wind whirled around me. The tracks were dark, and bloody. It was an absolute mess. I could already hear the police car sirens heading our way. It was time to rumble. And I was definitely not ready for any of it.

The crazy chubby guy that is now skinny. Does this diet really work? I would like to lose weight, but it seems like that would be a lot of food. What people dont realize is that exercise is probably the most important thing to getting healthy and losing weight! I guess I should probably his a gym.
Siri
she stepped into the subway station. her eyes cast down, deep in thought. she remembered all the moments here, with him. in this exact spot, where they mingled like two lovers, entwined. their fingers clasped so tight, you would have never believed he would let go. salt water formed, almost dropping in perfect spheres from her eyes, and she figured that now, it was the best time to end.

I was at a subway one day. It was in the Queens. But that isn’t the important part of it. The important part is that she was there. Oh, was she a Goddess amongst men.
At that moment, I became a follower.

The subway
pulled up to the station.
A hand,
trembling,
clawing at the metal door.
Sparks flying into the black night,
igniting the floor,
flames rising up to the ceiling,
dark and damp
like a cave,
lights hanging down
like stalactites.
Cool earth
burning.

There’s always been something really romantic about a subway in my mind. People rushing past one another, on their way to wherever they need to go, brushing past any number of strangers on their way. How many lives do we touch as we make our way on our commute? How better off are we that we’re limited to only that?

Subways remind me of New York. A city that is so alive both above the street and far below it as well. It jet-sets you across town in the blink of an eye and pops you up in an entirely different world.

Subway. Is that a way that is under or beneath another, more ostensibly usable way? Is the subway a way less traveled? Or maybe subterranean? Or is it maybe a way that SHOULDN’T be traveled? A way that’s less desirable or more unsavory… A way that leads to places you surely don’t want to end up.

it was a lonely place, if only there was some light. I begged for something, anything, a sign. Please… The time was running out, and I could feel every second like the beating of my heart. If only I had known before…

i live near boston and by living near boston, i mean i live somehwere within 45 minutes of boston. on occasion i have taken the T, Boston’s subway system into the city. It plays such a small role in my life though.

i have only been on a subway once. or twice. in d.c. i don’t travel much. but we went to d.c. last fall, and we rode the metro. i have no idea where we went, or how we got back, i just followed my travel partner. he knew what was going on, you know? it was fun, new, scary, all those cliche words.
