Flashback

I’m on the subway – it’s 1981 again:

the Slav reads – it’s ‘Magic’, I did, too, after night shifts at Yonge and Eglinton.

This must be the same train; it’s trademark wiggle loosening some memories…

But now, it has more character – I’m convinced I rode in this exact car when Reagan was shot; when the astronauts in the shuttle burned – when the Berlin wall collapsed.

In fact, I graduated in this car – both high school and adolescence.

Tonight, It all happened again between Lawrence and Eglinton.
