I wrote this last night, late. The following is the first draft. All comments welcome.
Thanks

The Train


sitting on the train
racing toward the horizon
passing a station
not stopping
am I on the right train


my compatriots
reading the news
gazing at the passing landscape
talking and playing cards
perhaps attending to business


the conductor remains unperturbed
and cannot explain
why we move on without pause
perhaps we will stop at the next
he whispers to me
perhaps we will stop
when we reach the horizon


the train races on
