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.

at the far end of the hall, there is an enormous open window.
the wind plays tricks in these hallways. all the doors fly open
all the time. there is sunlight at this time of the day. it could
have been dark. it is an empty house now. no one is in it. it is
used for storage.
