last train home

i took a late night train today, a first in the longest time. trains feel different at night, there’s a certain relieved sigh in the air. today, there was a girl who evidently had changed out from high heels to comfy flip flops, someone who gave up his seat though he looked very tired himself, and someone who wore a little floppy hat with many badges on it. nobody could really make out what the badges were about, and i caught glimpses of  people peering at the badges in a kindly curious sort of way.

there’s something forgiving in the air at night — a collective ‘ it’s been a long day, now for some rest’ , something i like.
