on the train

on the train. 27-4-03
country trains. they're musty and damp with a sauna like warmth. not a welcoming warmth, an uncomfortable warmth, a wamrth that has a sort of 'piss off' attitude. so why am i in this sweaty metal box? because i thought it would be a nice gesture to attend a friend's 21st, even if it meant 4hrs on the train there and back.
there's people sleeping. travelling people with huge packs. how can they sleep? aren't they afraid of waking up in the middle of nowhere?
it's raining. rain makes trains so much more depressing, so much more smelly.
