Straphangers: Get Off My Train
Sometime I feel like the ghost on the subway that Patrick Swazye’s character, Sam Wheat, met; first on a train & then on the platform. When homeboy threw him off the train I knew how he felt. Sometimes I even see that same look in other Straphangers eyes. The look of how dare you invade my personal space. How long is this ride going to take? Why is this train crawling? The main reason these questions are usually asked is because there is someone in that same car that is making the trip miserable. Most of the time it’s only because they themselves are miserable.
