On the Subway

by Mel Fawcett

“Yes, it’s me again. Please don’t look away or suddenly take an interest in your phone. I know it makes you feel uncomfortable to see me in my filthy threadbare clothes holding out my grubby paper cup. But today, I’m not begging. In fact, I’ve decided to find a different way of life. So I was wondering if anyone would like to change places with me?”
