‘Twas the night before Metro
Orange Line began
and all trough my body
I had goosebumps and chills
in anticipation of my very first ride.
I had been thinking
about that very moment
for the last couple of years
ever since I heard
the busway was coming my way.
I can still remember
when I would ride my bike
even drive a car
parallel to the busway
the old right of way.
Just dreaming and waiting
for the day to arrive.
And when they started testing
with no passengers yet
I would stand in awe near the stations
just watching the artics go by.
But alas! The day had arrived
five in the morning
I was ready to board
from Winnetka Station
to NOHO and back.
This feeling of anticipation
I cannot describe
unless you’re a MetroRider
you can’t comprehend.
I’m just waiting
and anticipating
out to East L. A.
Come late 2009
God willing
I’ll sure to be there!!!

I’m anticipating a Ventura Blvd. subway. That will be a long anticipation no doubt. In the meantime, an Orange Line light-rail would be nice. Or how about a tunnel underneath Lankershim that allows us to transfer from Orange to Red without crossing the street?
