A signal malfunction on the uptown Broadway Express (Q), keeps everyone inside a train that sits still for twenty-five minutes. After a while, each car begins . . . inching forward ––– then stopping again; inching forward . . . forward –––- then stopping again. Crawling along the tracks, the train at last, pulls into Thirty-fourth Street. The doors fly open; and almost everyone inside the train, sprints out, in flight. Only the brave remain on board, trusting that the next stop ––– Forty-second Street Times Square ––– will just be a few moments, tops. Eight block of prayers.
