Please allow the doors to close
Keep yourselves clear of the closing doors, please
We appreciate your patience: Tuesday's snows
have caused severe delays, our signals froze—
folks, keep your elbows and bags clear of the closing doors, please
you need to allow the doors to close
recent throes of our trains' outmoded motors mean slows
anticipate delays, seek alternate routes if possible, please
the additional accumulation from Monday's snows
is straining our underfunded fleet out of prose—
keep your elbows, baggage, tempers, hopes and dreams clear of the closing doors, please
we can't leave the station until you allow the doors to close
fights and fires on the T, your leaders fall to pose
one train's passengers forced to walk the rails, we say enough, please!
when this next Monday brought two more feet of snows
we closed the rail entire — over face chose
your lives free of the closing doors; please,
please allow the doors to close
(be advised more storms this weekend, brace for snows)

Date: 2015-02-12 03:10 am (UTC)Love this--so well done. My T commutes resume next week, but I'm not holding my breath that it'll be better then, especially if we end up getting a storm this weekend.
