Unknown Woman

Unknown Woman

April, a train, a station in Hungary
Just waiting for the departure, free time
A lady arriving on the platform watches the windows

Sunny day, twenty degrees, afternoon, 3 pm
She gets into the carriage, an old car, old stairs, design
She sat down, left to me, on the side of the car, simple, my age, nice

But more than. Simple appearance. Worn jeans, woman's teacher’s bag
But wise and mature radiation touched my heart, she is a woman, intelligent
White, almost short dark hair, probing eyes. Smiling face. Oh. The ice wall between us

Mine. Created. The dark psychology. I am a creature of that. A sick man
Afraid of women. Because of psychologically driven law
Saying. Watching a woman is, talking to a woman is, sexual harassment!

This psychology
Is mental poison

Because the woman
Is unknown
