A Man On the Train
Today I saw a man on the train,
he looked concerned, his face was strained,
As if his mind was miles away,
and I wondered what he'd done today.
Did he spend the day at a hospital
where his loving wife is frail and ill?
Is he a big shot CPA
who lost a million dollars today?
Perhaps he's a surgeon, who although he tried
to save a life, the young boy died.
Did he escort his only daughter to college
hoping she'll fill her head with knowledge?
Did he just murder his lady friend
who told him today their affair must end?
I saw myself on the train today
Amused at how my mind does stray!
