What is this train doing To me? Going to all the wrong places And has the driver no control? Other passengers are screaming as if homeless To persuade the driver to take this trembling namby-pamby  sick **** To their own favourite towns. When I sit quietly in an infrequently haunted compartment, the wasted smell from the toilet And these riotous noises Of the driver failing, the train stopping at lonely stations and others howling unnecessary caps locks and exclamation marks Infiltrate my senses and at the end of this journey, You can see through the flimsy permeability The holes are so prominent Yet light doesn't enter. The train's timings are weird - all in the night. The train gets derailed at one point due to the ruckus, on fire and the searchlight came very late, didn't notice my quivering queer hand rise amidst a burnt heap of  luggages of people who led to this ravaging managed to creep out of the train at the right moment, And desolated for the moses to grow inside this melted metal mess and through the rest of me. This is too big a coffin for me- unceremonious, caliginous and under the open sky There's not much of me left to give back to.

Train= mind, driver= thoughts, passengers= other people who influence or rule over your weak malleable mind.
