Subway trains

Larry likes being on the subway platform when the trains come in from both directions at the same time. Or sometimes one gets in just a little before the other and its wind whoosh. Then it leaves the station first too, not waiting, busy, committed to its procedure; yet heavy, like an aching. The other train goes. The stale subway air fills itself back in.

Then the people from both sides of the tracks go up the escalators at the same time and it bunches at the bottom waiting for each other.
