ON THE SUBWAY TRAIN
There must have been 73 people
in our subway car - all silent - all
alone - as we wiggled and woggled
from one stop to the next - and the
only person who noticed me was
a little kid directly across the aisle
who got out of his father’s lap -
walked over to me - pointed to the
bandaid on my hand and said,
“What happened? Where did you
get that boo boo?” He was the first
person and the only person in my
entire life who ever asked me about
my hurts and what happened? Wow!
