"Please Give This Seat to an Elderly or Disabled Person"

I stood during the entire journey:
nobody offered me a seat
although I was at least a hundred
years older than anyone else on board,
although the signs of at least three major afflictions
were visible upon me:
Pride, Loneliness, and Art


- Nina Cassian, born in 1924 in Galati, Romania
