Things I Found Gentle Today

Asian woman who sat next to me at the metro stop. She was wearing a hat and shades underworld and was carrying a trolley filled with goods in filled paper bags. But I noticed she smelt nice, which was a surprise, and then I felt bad for thinking it was. It wasn’t like Chanel nice but like laundry on a fall morning but still with a hint of moth balls but still, nice, really. I noticed the ends of her stiff black hair were wet. I guess she had just washed it.
