other people on the train

On the subway this morning there was a homeless-looking person in an erratic altered state, stumbling violently and looking very unpredictable. His or her (I really couldn't tell) smell was completely rancid and filled our side of the car and I held my breath. I was marveling at how people were literally running out of his/her path, jumping out of their seats, grabbing their children and scurrying, when I realized that I myself was cowering into the young man sitting next to me.
