Susan
is this station one of your favorites?
Mary
well, it has a couple of attractions
the mosaic signs from the late-60s have been very well-maintained
and two lines stop here, so people think I’m waiting for the other one
Susan
how long do you do this?
Mary
how long is a mood?
it’s never quite the same
tonight I knew right where I was going
other times I just pick a direction and see what’s out there
Susan
subway pleasure trips

Mary
traditional entertainment was ruining my life
it’s wonderful what they can do now, but excruciating
the graphic breakthroughs were beyond anything I ever thought I’d have to see
I was accumulating memories I didn’t deserve
I needed to rethink my leisure options
I always enjoyed travel
and I didn’t feel like waiting for my vacation
