Train Journey

Train Journey

A Poem by John Alexander McFadyen

Train Journey

They sleep.

Some playing catch up,

some to shrink the journey;

condense the monotony

or avoid the stranger’s stare.

Some sleep in tranquility,

not a worry to disturb such slumber.

Yet others have tortured dreams

that rack their souls

and make them wish

they could escape this commute.
