CTA Soundtrack

the boombox
has become
the bluetooth speaker

renegades
who have seemingly
never conceived of headphones

inflicting 
their playlist
on involuntary passengers

pulsing, pumping
beats, lyrics
intrusive cacophony

and yet

the melody
echos the churning train
reflects the pulse in the bodies within

better this noise
than tourist's bleating
or the bluster of the trader bros.
