Posted by heypaul on Tue Feb 14 09:43:41 2017 As you fly swiftly undergroundwith a song in your ears or lost in the maze of a book, remember the ones who descended here into the mire of bedrock to bore a hole through this granite, to clear a passage for you where there was only darkness and stone Remember as you come up into the light. |

I saw it a couple of days ago on a 2 Ave wrapped Q train. I'd like to think it as an ode to all the workers who built the original subway, not just the 2 Ave extension. |

I like it.to the workers building the original subway - reading the poem, I thought of all those photos in the original Interborough book, showing workers down in the excavations, or working around pipes & utilities moved to build tthe subway structure. |
