thinking about public executions on the subway

a higgledy-piggledy queue 

of spewing machines

an unexpectedly bustling tube 

with elastica from the high rises

stretching out rope for hangmen 

pickpockets do operate 

in the gallows’ courtyard

the good souls forgive, 

but are they influential 

with headsment?

since the new trains have been on the subway, there have been some issues. maybe its sorted now. i don’t use the train that often. i’d had dinner with my parents then got on the subway home, its maybe 9pm on a weeknight, and its unexpectedly madly busy, standing room only. i think maybe some earlier trains had been cancelled. anyway, i was thinking about how capital punishment isn’t really an effective deterrent.
