I won my ticket 5 months ago, by accident,
now I just had to take this particular train.
A little boys balloon just popped, no
one seems to care. I walk towards the

bench and sit down. The woman next to
me quickly looks away. Girls pass by,
subtle eye contact, no feelings, just plain
observation. It hurts to be neglected, the

little boy is crying too. There it comes,
there it comes. Excitement flowing through
every muscle in my body. But a man selling
balloons walks by, I can't leave now, quick, decide!

I thought about running after that train, thinking
about how my life could have been,
I bought two balloons that day
and a ticket for another train.
