Please Give This Seat to an Elderly or Disabled Person

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 on me:
Pride, Loneliness, and Art.


Nina Cassian (b. 1924)
