Riding Public Transit
Woman on Muni train
perfumed in pee
talking to yourself
wielding your little plastic tube
to ward off invisible demons.
What has happened to you
that made you lose your mind?
Was it rape?
War? The kind in another country
or the kind at home, your former home?
What or who did you run away from?

Or am I just projecting
my pain onto you?
I doubt it.
Somehow you lost your mind
that doesn’t happen
for no reason.
Are you safe now
out there on the streets?
I doubt it.
Your mind probably
disappears even more
out there.
No home is not safe.
No wonder you lost
your mind.

As if I’m reading my gf’s words.. She probably feels a lot like this.
I wish I could fight those demons for her, and for all the other women who have to go through this twice a day.
My prayers and love to all of you. And f**k them demons!
