The Best Kind of Company

THE BEST KIND OF COMPANY


To me trains are like an ends to a means
or a new beginning
I haven't ridden on many trains
but I want to

When I travel the world I was to ride a train
you don't have the hassle and expectations that an airport does

When I am on a train I am not expecting to get anywhere anytime soon
I just enjoy the ride

When I move far away
I want to make the exit by train
it makes it more official to me and I can't explain why

I like the sound of a train moving slowly on its tracks
when you close your eyes it sounds that much more peaceful
it can become like a drug
you sit there with your eyes closed and you zone in on the sounds so intensely that for just a moment you forget where you are
that's what I like about trains

I don't like a layover because that means you have to stop and start again
and with a train that takes too much time
it brings you back to your familiar surroundings

Just a straight shoot trip
that's all I desire from a train
