Tramp(ing) & Transit(ioning) It’s vague, my velvet sack of marbles, my rump, that me behind ruffles my smarty pants and panties. With a rat-a-tat my yakking off coaxes thick scrutiny, besides bag-o-trick rebuttals, (more inurbane than verbose) from ill-fitted cheery pickers and leaders, those pity-filled big-box heroes and their cyber sheltered tweeps.

Sitting, waiting. Waiting in a New York City subway stop. Where on Earth is my train? I’ve been waiting for a while now- it’s at least fifteen minutes late.

I’ve been waiting for it, and I think it was supposed to come a while ago.” “Yes. Didn’t you hear the announcement?
