“Stand clear of the closing doors please”

It was reaching dusk

When meli realized she was

At her stop

“Oh! Sh-ieeeet” she said

Clumsily hurrying

off the train

Commuters like her,

Had either falling into

a deep abyss

Or stood hovering over

Seated passengers

Scrolling up and down their phone

Screens

She was one of the seated victims

Who sqoze through

Zombie-like bodies

Just to get off the train

New York crowds were no different

At dusk than they were at dawn

She observed

taking the same

Route for

4 consecutive days.

She had mentally

vowed to dedicate

Mornings working on

a Novel she planned

To release the upcoming year

And spend the rest of the day

Exploring the city

After getting off the train

Meli shifted her bag

More comfortably

And immediately felt a different

Energy on the platform

from the prior nights

A serene

Unforgettable

Melody

Molested the air

Sitting still

on top

Of anyone who

Was taking the

Q or

B line to get to their

Destination

Meli followed the

Rhythm

Letting it move her

Even whilst

Having a leather

messenger bag over

her chest

Having danced all her life

Her first love was spotted

Easily

Moving her way closer

And closer

She reached the crowd and

Stood in close

Proximity

To a busker

Who was responsible

For showcasing

Such a alluring

Performance

He stood

there attractive

In every way

Meli could imagine

He wore all black

With a aura

Of green orange

And red

His lion eyes

Pierced hers as

They both made

Eye contact

He smiled

Continuing to keep

His pace

And Meli found that even more

Attractive

After he finished his song,

Commuters applauded,

Gave money, and kept it

Moving

It was Only so long

New Yorkers could

Be captured in moments

Luckily

Meli was stubborn

And from the Midwest

She found a spot to slip

Behind

And

waited for the scene to clear

To talk to him.

It was a innate introversion to

dancers that she had noticed

From her team

In college

and in that moment

She kind of felt it was the same for artist

As well. She observed him in a meditative

State for what

felt like 30

minutes but was

Only 4 and after

breaking it with a drink of water

Meli walked up to him...
