What's in a name, Drago?

The man on the train
has no name
his shoes have no laces
he has no future, no past
no family, no friends

the Passenger Assistant
asks the man with no name
if he has a ticket

as the man has no money,
no identification, no job
   he does not exist
why would he need a ticket?

this phantom of the train speaks
his accented, faltering English
delivered rapidly, his hands fluttering
moving the air around him, proving his reality

he has no name, no laces
but he has a voice
he has no ticket
but he is human

His name is Drago
