Neon Compline

The other day, I saw what appeared to be an entire human turd stuck at the very top of the escalator that leads to the train platform.
As the top step of the escalator rolled into a slot in the platform, the tiny teeth at the edge churned and rolled the turd. Despite this roiling The Turd fulminated, remained turd-shaped. It persisted even against the perpetual motion of the steps.
The Turd is caught forever on the uppermost level of the escalator. The escalator rolls and tumbles The Turd in turn. A struggle so rich, so shallow and suggestive that it was at once like life and like itself.
A human feces, caught on the top of the escalator.
