Hearing aid


This morning while riding muni home from the gym, I noticed a little old lady get on the train. I could see that she had something attached to one side of her head but I couldn't quite make it out. Was it a feather? Some sort of barrette? I was quite excited to see what fashion accessory she was rocking.

When she turned around, I saw that she had a little, yellowed rectangular piece of paper pinned to her hair. In big capital letters someone had written the word "DEAF" to alert passersby.
