monologue

Who am I?
I’m the girl on the train
I’m the long island girl who commutes to and from school
9:06,6:40,7:20,12:35,5:04 Peak/OffPeak
These train times are the new meaning in my life.
I study the people on the train
Where are they from?
Do they work?
Are they tourists?
Some in a suit and tie, some in sports jerseys, some in casual Friday clothing on a Tuesday
I always like to sit in the seat next to the window
Study the outdoors
The transfer at Jamaica cuts my daydream short
I prepare to get off at my stop
I then realize all of the work I have to do
Only to then realize again that the cycle begins in the morning
What cycle?
Being the girl on the train
But who am I?
I am more than a girl on the train
But you have to get to know me to figure that out.
