when i look at peoples reflections on the train i imagine they are ghosts 

i imagine everyone on the train is a ghost and I am stuck on a train full of ghosts 

a child is rubbing his nose up and down on the poll and mucus is coating it

he and his dad are both wearing 'toronto maple leafs' jerseys and his dad is holding a foam finger. his dad seems indifferent towards the nose rubbing which seems insane bc his hand is on the poll only ~2.5 cm away from his sons head

will the child or the person who touches it after him acquire more germs? how long will it take for the mucus to dry
