Morning train

 
November 27, 2008: morning train
 
Long black coat
Coach handbag
black leather document bag
3 inches court shoes
red lipstick
curl eyelashes
heavy eyebrows
bare face, soft pinkish color.
Elegant.
She sat in a seat infront of me
I can't help but reading her
when I paused occasionally
from the book that I was reading.
I recognise almost all faces
that I encountered every morning
in the train
but I have not seen her before.
She get down when the train arrived at KL Central Station
I gave her my 'have-a-nice-day' smile
She left
with a smile like cold leftovers.

  1. Great poetry...insightful. I'll give you back your "have a nice day smile" and add another one that says have a nice weekend.

  2. She missed a chance to meet a new friend...maybe you can try again another day.
