The Night Tram

It will always be funny to me

How the night is so quiet

Yet has an air of liveliness.

Looking out the window,

The lampposts are illuminating the road

The odd car drives by, the odd folk is walking home.

When walking home from a night out with friends,

The tram is empty at 11:30 pm

But if full to the brim at 1:00 am

With people moving the dance party into the carriage.

They smell of weed, tobacco, and cheap liquor.

Dazed, glass-eyed, and yelling

At each other, although only a foot apart.

The music is sickly, it makes my heartbeat strangely

The based interrupting the natural rhythm

It feels like a heart attack.
