Someone's In the Soup Kitchen With Spadina/The Bitter Way

Riding the subway. A woman is sitting next to me.
Across from us is a guy holding some flattened boxes.
I turn to the woman and say; "Look's like he's thinking
outside the box." "Pardon, me" she says waking up from that
sort of zoned out space you often get into on the subway.
I repeat what I just said. She starts to smile and says,
"That's funny." "Thank you", she continues. "I was having a
bad day, but you just cheered me up ."
I would have continued the conversation but my stop
was coming up. Besides, my work (play?) was done.
