Train stops at Subway stationAn old lady boards the subwayHer shaking wrinkled hands holding her cane sternlyHer face looks calm like the vast oceanDressed in light pink suit, floral bandanaGlossy nails, done at a salonShe looked so beautiful Her grocery bag fell down, I offered to helpHer bandana fell off her head, to reveal her alopeciaHer scarf slipped off, to reveal the scar on her neck Those dry lips, the scar, the shaved off headAll told a story in just a fraction of timeHer ordeal she is trying to hide.
