Sitting in the dining car of a 1996 Amtrak rail car clamoring for the next available outlet. Across from me is a bohemian mistress who looks like she just wandered into the car from the 70's. Out of place in this time and type of train. She sits silently reading a a favorite work from one the the greater unknown Inspirational-ist's. An occasional giggle fills the air from a joke only she knows and understands. Disregard for the rules and regulations around her. Oblivious to the others in the car snacking on sandwiches and slurping up their pops. I notice though. I sit and can't help but look at her. There's a wonder and awe about her persona. A pull towards her careless aura. It's intoxicating. We hit Kalamazoo and like a hiccup she's gone. Out to dance towards her next spot. Wherever that may be. Still I sit. Waiting for my charging to be done

The Long Train Ride
Sitting in the dining car of a 1996 Amtrak rail car clamoring for the next available outlet. Across from me is a bohemian mistress who looks like she just wandered into the car from the 70's.
