February Grips NYC by the throat...

So living in DC now, I can't help but think back to living in NYC (with our girl Ru)and compare the two cities. There's a million ways NYC kicks DC's butt, but one is how much better the subway is than the metro. Not because of speed, access, reliability or anything like that. To me the main difference is the the people norms inside these weird people-moving-steel-capsules. I found that people on the subway are generally warm to each other, and people on the metro try their darndest (I gave up cursing for Lent) to not interact at all with anyone else. Somehow the norm DC landed on is to be cold to each other on the metro. So I've was thinking about this, and how this genius februaryproject recognizes it's a cold dark and tough month, and while I'm debating with Josh whether or not we should get a sun lamp (feel free to way in? worth it? do you just squint the whole time?!) this poem pops up! And dang if it aint this old friend, who's an especially warm person, just perfectly capturing what it is to get in a warm tube during a cold winter:
