the train station

i see them

at the platform, waiting

for the train.

they're traveling.

i've come to watch.

i want to see

the joy

of arrivals,

the pain of departures.

i want

to peer into that window

of love,

of endings.

of farewells, 

and welcome home

embraces.

i want to observe

the lives of others,

before me,

in technicolor.

i need a turn on

some train.
