Riding the Train While standing in the subway one day I heard two people’s voices yelling at what appeared to be each other. Tired from work, I thought, “What a jerk. Why won’t he leave her alone?” Then, suddenly, I saw what it was about—the man that I hated when he shouted, “Bitch! You’re full of shit!” And then he slapped her. It brought back memories of my past when my father used to beat my mother’s ass and there was nothing you could do or next it would be you.... riding the train.
