About two weeks ago, Garrison Keillor read a poem called “To the Man in a Loden Coat” by Deborah Garrison on The Writer’s Almanac. I highly recommend that Metro riders read this verse about escalator etiquette. You can also listen to Keillor read it (after he goes over some birthdays).
Is this the greatest urban poem ever? Well that is hard to say, but I think Deborah Garrison ought to be named the poet laureate of Metro.
