|6:31 pm,
Subway Train Heading to West Bridge |

Two men sit
Side by side.

The first man, young and handsome,
Has his gaze fixed on
the white bag in his hand,
Overflowing with diamonds

Because all girls
like diamonds.

The second man, old and withering,
Has his gaze fixed on
The bouquet of tulips,

Her favorite.

The subway train's doors open.
Two women wait side by side.

One
has her loving gaze
fixed on the old, withering man,

And the other
has her loving gaze
Fixed
on the white bag of diamonds.
