What about someone’s shoe falling off, down onto the track, as he was getting on?

Not quite on the train but by taking the train
to the airport instead of accepting his offer
to drive me there, a missed opportunity
for a private conversation with someone dear
who might have had parting words on his mind.

1. Expensive pair of gloves. (Only had them 4 days).
Sorry to hear it (not mockingly).

Transitoriness, that old bugaboo.

I don't think that would count.

Wow. A downvote for that. Someone must really want to hurt me -- perhaps someone with lingering resentments and a chronic booze and/or anger habit.

Not that I'm a fan of Auden, but if that petty downvoter had instead wondered if I might be "the American Auden" that would have been (only slightly) better.

Good lord, sit on the floor? On a train?

I'd sooner pay for high tea with Meghan Markle...

Were chickens somehow involved? Was the top of the train too crowded?

(if you don't mind my asking)

As if you could distinguish between "high tea" and a teabag in hot water. 🙄

Probably either Margaret Rutherford or Josie Packard, and I regret that I do not remember which -- and not that I think of women as things -- perhaps I was thinking of words on the glass.
