Attuned 

Coming up 
the escalator of
Metro this afternoon
I can hear the wail & moan
of a sullen saxophone within
its gears, and almost know the tune.
 

Hi, Mark,

This is visually appealing because of line length to represent an escalator (ampersand aside - but you my be thinking of getting rid of it.)

And the interspersed rhyme of noon/tune, moan/phone accords well with what would be humming/buzzing/vibrating/rumbling of gears in the mechanism.

At my level of experience, I can't suggest any improvement, apart from change the first word to Riding.

A enjoyably resonant piece. Thanks for the opportunity to read it.

Cheers.
