Older Woman and Her Carrots

Philadelphia PA

Description

I saw you, an older woman, eating carrots on the subway. You were struggling to carry some grocery bags home and wearing an orange poncho. For some reason, when I saw you there eating your carrots, I just wished I could know more about your life. You looked like you’d seen things. Things other people have never even heard of. I’m not sure why but I had to look away from you, and when I did there was a tear rolling down my cheek.
