Along the Third Rail
by Katherine DiBella Seluja
His mouth, a carnival. Of squalor, he knows plenty.
This life of Snicker-bits and fries from the bottom of the bag.
His head, a tilt-a-whirl of pigeon feathers and rat.
Long hours in the tunnel,
lines in his palms, only a gypsy’s daughter could read.
An ability to strum and a crooked smile,
his missing teeth never bother the tourists.
Small change always appreciated, daily commuters know him by name.
Frieda tosses a Krispy Kreme and Jared
gives up the end of his moo goo gai pan.
His favorite slogan CAN’T GET OFF THE FERRIS WHEEL in pencil
on cardboard is lucrative.
On a good day, a bottle of Colt 45 and a hot dog.
On dark days, a bed of crumpled paper towels
the men’s room floor the 5-o’clock express
rattling across his molars.
