It's eyes bespeck years beyond me, yet, I'm its age at least times three. Cobwebs hang above its lice-filled head, a cardboard box seems to be its bed. Christian riders race past its place, afraid that they may see its face. I met its eyes as the train screeched to a halt, but I wavered my nerve, was it my fault? Was it a boy, a girl, or all one in the same? I boarded the subway convinced we're all to blame.
