absorbing news
disastrous and distressing
in her own world
seemingly alone
as subway slowly
reach its goal
she carefully folds
her newspaper
disastrous and distressing
it will have to wait
till after lonely dinner

That’s what make it so interesting to fantasize 🙂
Very nice story poem. I like the picture, too. Good one.:-)
Thank you. something I have done a few times.
