10,358. EXTRA MEANING

EXTRA MEANING
We went from car to car, as if we
were blind. Archibald, you'd have
never known. The back guy was 
playing some telephone rap, a spot
of music, alone. Keep walking,
gents, just go on. 
-
Inside the Rahway station the lady
in robes was trying to settle some
guy  -  he was convinced his scratch
off ticket had won him 10-grand.
Not so fast, she tried saying, but no
one understood. Misreading waxy
numbers is a real problem. 'It
needs three; you only have two.'
-
There's a bust of Tesla out front; 
they claim him now as their own too,
saying he once had a lab along Cherry
Street. Electrifying news, if true; but
how much fame can a dump like this
claim? Not even the river stays here.
