Monday Morning


Picture it...

Monday morning crowded subway platform in New York City. I go to the end of the platform toward the back of the train in the hopes that I will get a seat for my thirty minute journey. The doors opened and out came one of worst smells you can think of. Think of bad, bad body odor that defiles description. Just one whiff and I got out of the car and went to the next one that was filling because of the dozens of jumping into the car before the train doors closed. God forbid I missed that train. It would throw off those whole morning and I would risk being late. There I was on a packed train headed downtown. The funny part is looking at the people in the funky car that stayed in order to have a seat with their mouths covered.

So that was the beginning of my week. It's happened before, but every time I'm just frustrated and saddened. Saddened because someone has so much disrespect for themselves and others to smell like that. I think I saw his shoes off!

I wonder what brought him to that moment.
