Line E


The E line it´s the weirdest of all subway lines
I remembered for short times inside of this subway places of my childhood in a very basic city, in the nineties.. i remember this days with a peculiar natural light, own of that small city, a calm light cause a calm environment, like sundays..I used to go to very basic places by then: my elementary school, the church, friend´s houses and my previous house; over all that places, predominated a yellow color in walls, like cream, yellow lights from the lamps, (still not yet the savers focus kind were used), objects owners of the midle class, and nineties design.
I came nostalgic with the casserole lamps shape, with yellow light in the subway. I was sitted in a foil bank for two, at my side, a forty woman from work, with a plastic bag, bah!...in front of me, a teenage girl very similar to my, and at my other side the window, with absurd steel protections at the elbow level, with the subway tunnel wall just a few centimeters of me passing in dangerous speed. Make me think about the feeling of living at fifteen minutes near of the forest, sounds crazy but look: I realized now was like a savage feeling made up of a very open place, no buildings, no difficulties, all calm and nostalgic.
The fucking sound the subway line "e" was doing!..: a sound that seems to tell you "look the machine´s older than the other subways machine, cause this is not a touristic zone", or "look that´s how the machine sounds, but is just the travel from your work to your home"...What a thing..
