Link: ‘The Tao of the C Train’

by Benjamin Kabak

McSweeney’s has a fun piece for a Friday afternoon: Kendra Eash presents The Tao of the C Train. It is her ode to the subway replete with this gem: “There is no person who is not clean who has not sat in your seat. No matter which seat you choose, it is unclean. When everyone is unclean, cleanliness ceases to exist.” It ends with an existential question: “Who can continue to calmly ride, when train traffic is ahead?” [McSweeney’s]
