My feet are untrustworthy,
So I ride the down escalator
Standing still,
Contrary to the rule of thumb,
Which states:
Get to where you're going
With a maximum of haste.
Is there anyone behind me
Or to my left? No matter--
Patience.
In the deep, dark cavern,
It's cool and comfortable;
Here trains whoosh by,
The cars packed to the triple digits.
No reason to worry,
There's plenty of time--
Patience.
