train,
but it's okay.
i feel like riding today
and watching
how others
live their lives.
i want to know how
their time is filled
while
going from here to there.
staring at the maps,
listening to garbled
instructions from
the conductor, naming
each destination
once arrived.
it's a long day. so many are
lost, so many
are confident in where
they're going
when to stay put and ride
a little longer, and when
to get off.
the faces are distant,
the eyes holding
that traveler's gaze,
not here.
they seem to be already
off the train, but
not you. not yet. but
soon. soon you'll
be there.
