Yes! I'm the first
To step off the train
Will I reach the way out?
Or shall I refrain?
Wow! I am there!
At the foot of the stairs
Do I dare
To step on the empty escalator?
Do I risk the run?
To tread with my feet?
On the virgin, moving iron?
Before the crowd hit on it?
Oh my God! Yes I did it!
My heart skips a beat.
I smile. I breathe deep
I am standing on it.
But no! My joy is short lived
Simultaneously shot
By a thousand more passengers and..
I reached the top!
