Good day charm

I get off
The crowded
Daily local
After struggling
With
Bodies and bags,
Jostling my way to front,
And then hopping down
Against the
Trickling speed of wheels.
I exhale
The sweat laden
Thick salty air.
One deep breath.
At that moment,
I can/will justify
All the hoopla
Behind
The fresh evening air.
I walk back
To
My room
Coming across
Familiar faces
Primarily because,
We share the same routine.
However,
There are
No acknowledgments.
Except for
One crippled man,
Balancing on crutches,
Waving out,
And
Muttering unintelligibly.
Like a good day charm,
I wait

To cross paths with him.
