Commuters

Quick step skip inside
Slide, then, like musical chairs
Carried with the tide.

Patent heels, silk tie
Penguins on a fast train home
Hours ‘til I see sky

The sound carries me
To the darkness we submit
Weird intimacy

Glad for the end of the day
Bracing ourselves for the next.

As always, this is brilliant. Your choices of words are outstanding and it really carries its meaning.

The form suits the poem's content. You've done a good job.

I like the pace of the poem. You describe the situation well. I'm not so in love with the seventh line, though I don't know what you could replace it with.
