She prays on the train
Because that is where she finds peace
She prays for joy and wonderment and creativity
While all of us watch
Hoping that one of her prayers
Is about us.

flower child, i know you don’t know me, and I know I don’t know you, but tell me, honestly, what do you find most frightening about me? is it my face? perhaps my style of dress? or is the wonder you have in that mind of yours about what’s in my bag? whether it’s something friendly or maybe hostile? it’s hard to say, isn’t it, flower child?
