I talk at the speed of trees that pass you on a train journey. Hundreds of thoughts planted tall, loud, incessant.  I don't expect you listen to me, I don't expect you to notice, but then you pick out one leaf from the twenty-eigth branch of the twelfth tree  and ask me why it's painted a deep scarlet. And there's n o t h i n g that stops me from turning that hue too. "To Stop Train, Pull Chain"

A train journey
I talk at the speed of trees that pass you on a train journey. Hundreds of thoughts planted tall, loud, incessant.  I don't expect you listen to me, I don't expect you to notice, but then you pick out one leaf from the twenty-eigth branch of the twelfth tree  and ask me why it's painted a deep scarlet. And there's n o t h i n g that stops me from turning that hue too. "To Stop Train, Pull Chain"
I love trains man. #Blessed by the bae.
