I see myself through the windows of trains in different cities. Sometimes I have earphones in and I’m staring out the window as the light passes over the tops of buildings. Sometimes I have a girl asleep on my shoulder while colored houses line the hills. Sometimes I’m crying and no one on the train notices. I see myself as an outsider looking at a picture, or a movie frame, moving quickly by to another moment that will be documented.

Girl on a Train
I see myself through the windows of trains in different cities. Sometimes I have earphones in and I’m staring out the window as the light passes over the tops of buildings. Sometimes I have a girl asleep on my shoulder while colored houses line the hills. Sometimes I’m crying and no one on the train notices. I see myself as an outsider looking at a picture, or a movie frame, moving quickly by to another moment that will be documented.
