Writing Assignment

Write about something you see every day.

I suppose I could have written about a Big Issue, like homelessness, or gentrification, or otherwise not taken the project so literally. But it's an imaginary class, so I don't need to impress anyone, and besides, I do see the subway everyday, and it never fails to tickle me.*

The thing I see every day - NY Subway

Every time a train roars by, I can’t help thinking that it seems like some behemoth, alien caterpillar roaring through tunnels of its own devising - diving deep to unknown caverns, belly full of unsuspecting human food.

*Never fails to tickle me except at AM rush hour, especially at AM rush hour on Mondays when everyone (including me) is probably in a bad mood.
