It’s funny
How free it feels to be on a train
The tracks always go to the same places
Trains keep on their schedules
Passengers have no control over their destination
save for the ticket they purchased
and the train car they board
But they have freedom
to sit and read
to watch traffic sit still as they pass by
to wave at children standing with their parents
“Hi train! So big and powerful you are!
Where are you going today?
Who are you carrying?”
How free it feels
It’s funny
