one of those days,
as the light fades
and the sky becomes a charcoal smudge
and the train rolls on, to familiar territory
it’s the people you share the journey with
the quiet ones; the rowdy ones,
like that guy staring out of the window, lost in thought,
those girls giggling over a censored photo
held close to the chest like a card hand,
we will spill from the carriage and disperse,
like on the wind,
where will the gusts take them all, I wonder?
So evocative. I can feel myself on the journey, observing what you observe. That’s powerful.
