Underground Rhymes

Полина Кочина
At last, the day is over, 
We'll leave it all behind.
We're coming down to hover
Without a thought in mind. 

Then somewhere in the distance
We'll see a pair of eyes - 
Remembering our existence, 
A tired train arrives.

The babel's getting eerie:
Your German and my French.
A second, and we'll hear it,
The soothing "interchange"!

Line six. Two seats are vacant.
A miracle. We're blessed.
Once more we are awakened - 
Your station is the next.

Goodbye now. See you later.
My trip will carry on.
You'll stop and watch me, waiting,
Until the train is gone...
