I am Maligned

no, it's not better.
no, it's not better.
no, it's not better.
now.

disaster-prone.
loud and dumb.
slow-walking but quick-witted.
baby, I am above this mess.

I am just a rumbler rider.
who thought I had a second chance.
to board a crowded train when the doors reopened.
but the car was too full.

I made eye contact with a couple people.
and they made sad faces at me.
it was a nice human moment.
a song at the beginning of the day.
