Subway Story No. 7

Depending on when I get up and out of the apartment in the morning, there's a woman I run into semi-regularly on the subway platform of the N/R train. We stand in the same spot, near the pay phone, to embark. She's usually drinking from a large paper cup purchased from Dean & Deluca. At 14th Street she'll disembark if the express has arrived across the platform; otherwise, I leave before her, at 23rd street. I first noticed her shoes. Looking at past photographs, I've discovered her in the corner of a frame, wearing a white macrame poncho. Today we spoke for the first time. I complimented her on her pants.
