A grid of light and shadow
A shifting band of sun
Ignites the tiny newsstand
Below the wooden track
A thousand pounding footsteps
Commuters on the run
Collect a cup of coffee,
A paper, and a snack
Ten thousand climb the staircase
Ten thousand more come down
The trains’ insistent rumble
Sends tremors through the shack
An old man stacks the bundles
His visage wears a frown
With care he counts your quarters
And hands a nickel back
