That That

12:33am
on the slowest F train ever

get off at Halloween street,
meet and meander with Columbina

yellow leaves blowing around a brick building,
it was the first night of fall

ask myself am I past tense, 
and if so, how should I punctuate this sentence. 

it is not a question,
but a statement about a curiosity

uptown we resolve
that that is all life is

just dancing on the rumbler
between the advice

of a Freud fanatic
and a Nietzsche novice with a broken watch

Culture. Technology. Work. Politics. The environment.
It’s a lot. 

but I would argue isn't it
Beautiful, and so achingly, achingly true?
