{ Accessorize }
A round, gray-haired man sitting across from me on the train fiddled with his narrow metro ticket. Two pairs of glasses hung around his neck, their cords slightly tangled. He titled back his head, glanced at me from under his sagging eyelids, and looked back down at his ticket. He very carefully slid the ticket under his wedding ring, adjusting it until he was satisfied with its placement. He smiled, discreetly, and inspected his outstretched hand. He eventually grew comfortable enough with his new accessory to focus his attention elsewhere, but he looked down at the ticket every few minutes to remind himself of his own ingenuity.
