After the Third Avenue El was torn down
People on its route woke up often, saying
"What was that noise I didn't just hear?"
Ifrits came by, knocking on doors
Selling the echoes of trains going by
None of them from the Third Avenue El
But sufficiently like to allow some sleep.
The foreign train sounds brought with them
Improbable things and to this day
Third Avenue ghosts will sell you a ticket
To places you've never heard of or knew
How much you wanted to see.
