It is a Giving and a Taking

An unutterable desire of utterance
Like tagging subway plate, most usually
Combined with theft of services.

Hopping the turnstile because it’s there
Then inscribing one’s alias into near-nature stainlessness
Is bare discretion and fair evasion.

Transport vandals should have
Modeled the roles played by the bulk users
Elements of a commuter cete, anything but actual travelers.

Stitched together, their innumerable silent moves
Could have brought them over a dozen times around the globe
But, urbanely, they have made for one constant to-and-fro.

Might there be spun the thinnest yarn under these circumstances?
However, a subsisting desire of unutterable utterance
Glorifies all ascent into gesture and sign.
