The Quiet Car
Is full of angry people

Thirsting for
A fight

Under the pretense
Of quietude

They take to their seats
With an attitude

The Quiet Car’s
Cabin of naysayers

Says enough of
Their behavior

Under the guise
Of solitude

Their shyness is
Sly ineptitude

The Quiet Car
Is loud
Crowded with
A tough crowd

The Quiet Car
Is blaring
With sounds of
Silence staring

The Quiet Car’s
Mesmerizing jostle

Is hijacked
By hassle

Fellow commuters
Have it in for you

They may smile and nod
But they don’t like you

Turn off your cell for
Silent Kingdom hell

If you need help
Please don’t yelp

Books may be read
While filthy looks can kill

The Quiet Car
Is loud
Crowded with
A tough crowd

The Quiet Car
Is blaring
With sounds of
Silence staring

The Quiet Car
Is inane

The Quiet Car
Is inhumane

The Quiet Car
Is anything but
