some days during the week I take a city bus
I watch her as she climbs on board tugging a handcart stuffed with a filthy red Miller's Lite tote bag I instantly hurt within myself for her she's wearing dirty black jogging pants, a purple sports bra and runners a scar runs up from underneath the waist of her pants to the top of the bra she runs a finger up and down the scar, up and down,down and up she has burns, scars, raised edges on her exposed skin a man stands up and gives her his seat she nudges my foot with her cart she says 'sorry' and smiles at me I return the smile saying 'it's okay' her teeth are darkened yellow, crooked, some missing I think her age could be thirty she's so thin, there's no where to hide I look at passengers, I see disdain, judgement, distaste it looks as if some are pretending she's not even there and my hurt for her increases her pain has no filter |
