T.G.I.F. 10/04/19

[Xlateralus]

Not around a book, so I’ll flip to page 2 paragraph seven of the Amtrak customer safety instructions manual.

Windows
Release
trap doors
Train
Hand rails
Lock
Step

Chug-a-chug

Always on the tracks
Trips on trains become locks
Lacking degrees of freedom.

Forever forward.

Glimpse of release through windows
blur into opaque prison cells -
exit doors become a trap as
handrails deform into cuffs.
