A disabled man with his head severely bent down boarded a bus on Dublin's Camden Street at lunchtime today. The man was unkempt, elderly and dirty.
As he stood in the aisle, a couple in a seat spotted him, realised he was dirty and disabled, held their noses, grimaced, made a comment and got up from their seat. Neither of them was 'Vogue' standard.
As the bus passed White Friar Street Carmelite church, the couple, now standing closer to the driver, blessed themselves.
Certainly a metaphor.
