Underground

Added on January 29, 2021 by Jaime Permuth.

It had been a couple weeks since I ventured out on the subway. When I switched trains at the next station, I saw three digital screens with portraits of MTA employees displayed in a continuous rotation. 

It took me a moment to see the dates underneath them. It took another second to realize there were two dates per portrait and the second one was always 2020. Then I was blinking back the tears. There were so many faces. So many lives cut short by the virus.

Rest in peace 💐
