The Route To Korurakubashi / Japan 2008

Trains upon trains Exalted trains with pristine potties and stewardesses with snack carts. Luxury trains topped with glass so the first class can see beyond the concrete shoot the cars shuttle through. Trains upon trains Avant -garde trains with scrolling neon signs in three languages, Japanese, Chinese and English with velveteen seats. Subway trains with oh, so, polite grannies and oh, so, skinny men in pinstriped suits. Country trains who’ve seen their better days come and go with accordion hinged umbelical connections and shiney beige linoleum floors whose cars shake and shutter as the trudge along trains upon trains.
