Slanting Lines
‘Commuter—one who spends his life
In riding to and from his wife;
A man who shaves and takes a train,
And then rides back to shave again.’
—E.B. White
shave again
oh lord
take train
rough grain
sharp blade
shave again
shine or rain
wind or cloud
take train
whether vain
same old
shave again
it’s insane
i’m bored
take train
what a pain
and absurd
slave again
pull chain
be bold
brake train
it’s plain
grow beard
brave again
forsake train
