New York City subway riders

Somewhere on a train underground in New York City, a moment is had and something is left unsaid. One person leaves, the doors shut behind them, and it seems that the moment is lost forever. They go above ground and in a burst of hope or expression, call LUVunderground and post a telling of their experience. And perhaps their partner from the moment will check in and hear the message. Or perhaps not. But the message be come one of many that create a portrait of a train line and a gathering of the voices of NYC.
