a sign of resistance

This morning I noticed that somebody on had scratched through the subway system map on the train to reveal the old one beneath. It was only in bits, so the result was that the map was neither wholly new or old, neither and both.

Someone looked at this sign of progress and thought of the increased fares of the last few years, the hours spent on stalled trains, the tin voice of announcements, the lost god, the ex-girlfriend, and said no.
