sometimes when i take
the train, I draw you…
manchmal, when ich den zug nehme, zeichne ich euch…
close up on eyes, watching
text:
you wouldn’t notice me…
i learned to be quick…
Ihr würdet mich nicht bemerken…
ich habe gelernt schnell zu sein…
close up on hand drawing in a sketchbook
text:
for a minute, or two,
or three… I see you.
für eine minute, oder zwei,
oder drei… ich sehe euch.
close up on the faces of 4 people sitting in a row by the subway car window
text:
i wonder what your life is like… what brought you here…
Ich frage mich wie ihr so lebt…
was euch hier her gebracht hat…
close up on a hand dropping a coin into a cup of a person begging. a person in the background holds their face in their hands. the other people look tired.

how most of us are dancing on
the brink, how easy it is to slip…
wie die meisten von uns am rande eines abgrunds tanzen, wie einfach es ist auszurutschen…
the sketch artist looks up from their sketchbook.
text:
anyway…this is
where i get off…
wie auch immer… hier ist
meine haltestelle…
the sketch artist has left the subway car, looks over their back.
