Sleep Between Stops

West End, Boston, Massachusetts; November 4, 2023

A black and white photo shows two people sitting on a subway seat. The man on the left, wearing a fur-lined jacket, leans back with an arm around the other. The woman on the right, in a hooded jacket and sunglasses, rests their head on the man's shoulder, appearing to sleep. The subway car has graffiti on the walls and windows, and the floor is dark and worn. The scene conveys a sense of urban life and quiet companionship.
