12th July 2018, Thursday

8.06am,
swam of commuters waiting on the platform.
Lost count of trains that I couldn't board.
Takes 5 to 10 minutes per train arrival.

More and more innocent commuters appeared.
Latecomer formed a new line same row with a guy in front me.
Congestion inside Train.
Pinned like ham sandwich.
I am the ham.

Picturing yourself between two large men,
One tall behind with a big belly pressing against your back,
while both your hands pressing another tall man's buttock.

What more to come, is taking multiple blows by elbows to your head
and lower chest when front man tried to reach his phone from his pocket
yet you couldn't avoid them.

The struggle to stand and pinned drains your energy rapidly.
Much worse, you slowly out of breathe because of your height.
With very little to no space to lift your head high to inhale.
