still passenger

the still passenger sits on a train, on the window seat, in the middle of a long car. these are the days when there were drive-in movie theaters dotted across the landscape. at dusk, the images on the screen appear off in the distance. the images presented here are those which are glimpsed, the ones that still her thoughts. the train rolls along. the landscape seems to move, but doesn't. the still passenger sits alone with her snapshots in her mind. she's filling in the spaces.

i'm thinking of renting a small house in a hamlet in rosenwald.
it's a mile away. try to sneak out. be with me that night. i will stay there until you get well. if it takes long, i will make a home for us
there. we will live there for a time when you are cured. as for the three versions, you asked me if you could see the progressions. here they are.
