There Might Be a Monster on Your Back, But Don't Worry, You'll Never Know

8:15am semi-crowded M Train, Union Street

Who even knows where the M train starts and ends, I'm not sure. I do know it will stop at Dekalb where I can take another train to another train and so on. When the shiny new clean train arrives at my station I hop on it. It's fairly quiet.

About halfway down there is woman standing arm raised on the rail above. Clinging below her arm is a large flapping MOTH! She has no idea. She continues to hang her face close to the bug to talk to her son who is seated below her.

The other riders see it. They say nothing.

A few moments later the train stops. She exits the train with the giant moth hitching a ride on her shoulder like a miniature parrot. She may never know.
