On this train journey I sit
with my precious child
I contemplate,
people, places and time,
passing so fast
too fast
It's disconcerting
how it mirrors life,
this journey,
and I worry
that my life too
passes me by this way
I'm concerned that I spend
too much time
fearing exactly this scenario
Yet here I sit
pondering these fears
still
