City Trains II



But sometimes
You are also
A moment outstretched
Of solitary thought
Between where I came from
And where I am going
A chink in time
To slowly
Leisurely
Think things through.
Things that otherwise
remain unthought.
Like whether we are really headed somewhere.
You and me.
Oh mighty metallic centipede.

    I have also felt local train's journey takes you on internal journey at times. भीड़ में ध्यान।

    Metallic centipede is undoubtedly a fantabulous phrase and scintillating metaphor.

    This journey without is also a journey within.
    Please go on with your project of weaving magic.
