trainspotting

i fell asleep on a train
when i woke up the first time
my glands felt swollen but the freshness of a new-ended sleep overlapped the sucking pain
i tried to remember the dream i just had
i saw something flicker inside my skull
but still nothing constructive
a little vision of fireflies in a can came up
it started to irritate me, how dare it interrupt my day-dreaming
my right eye started twitching about 2 weeks ago, without a reason it seemed
it twitched again
i was scared
i was always too nervous about illnesses and any kind of disturbances of my natural state
you would be surprised, but despite all that, i still smoked
and after 5 hours on iron wheels, i was craving a cigarette
the weariness of my sleep hasn’t yet worn off, so i was a newborn with a whole life to discover
i started by walking down the beautiful hall of the train
a colorful non-ending carpet saved my footprint for a little while, but then forgot about me, like it always did
