I saw a man standing on the train tracks down past where the dark goes. He was wearing a white tunic and white harem pants and his eyes were the headlights of the 4 or 5 train, I couldn’t tell which. He was standing with his arms wide like he wanted to touch both walls of the tunnel. And he said, Hey, it’s okay that that one girl is a better writer, and it’s okay that that other girl got a part on a tv show, and it’s okay that the person you love is not going to be yours the way you want. He opened his mouth and said all that. Pretty amazing if you think about it. That he’d know all that about me, just me, and the things I fret over. He didn’t address any other subway goers. Maybe they didn’t see him.
