the smile

of the young woman I passed

on the subway steps—

it ought to last me at least

another stop or two

I shall carry it with me when I next visit London, and its subway system.; 8:53 AM
Bill said...: Thanks, Alan. In fact, this was the New York subway; come and give this one a ride. But I'm pleased to know you'll have it with you in London. I'll remember that, a few months down the road, when (g.w.) I'm riding the metro in Paris.; 9:57 AM
