Fractured Psyche

She sits beside me, wrapped in multi layered clothing, fingers plucking imaginary threads, constant as the motion of the bus. A bundle, tied with string, packs the space between our seats, brushing against my booted foot each shifting turn. She converses with herself, distorted reality  replacing lucid thoughts,  reasoning as tangled as the uncombed hair framing her furrowed face; eyes  exposing her tormented psyche,   scrambled murmurings continuous. Grasping her soiled roll, she exits slowly, shuffling  to an unclaimed spot on the dying grass, dropping  life possessions beside the park bench, stretching  out to rest among the others,  long forgotten and cast aside, lost in the shuffle of bureaucracy. Tears trickle  down my cheeks, mindful that justice is as erratic  as the racing thoughts of neurotic perception.
