still on the train...

this morning, a bright december sun and a clear, icy blue sky tried to wake me up early. but my subconscious decided i needed more sleep. so it had me dream of travelling on a train, a very comfortable and modern one, with big windows. so there was the light and the fresh air, and the monotonous sound of the train to keep the traveller drowsy.

i slept during part of this train journey (yes, i dreamt i was asleep). and i wasn't too sure at first where i was travelling, and why. but every now and then i looked out of the window, and when the train stopped, i recognized the names of some small towns in Hungaria and Slovakia, not very far from home. and the sequence made it likely i was going towards Vienna (but it might still take a few hours).

at first i thought i was alone among strangers. but while standing at the window and admiring the landscape, with the train going at high speed, i suddenly realized there was a girl standing beside me. a lovely girl with a sweet smile... the one i wrote the non-poem for!

this pleasing surprise startled me so that i awoke. and i thought: damn it, if she's on that train too, i want to continue the journey at once! we will have such fun!

and i fell asleep again, and the journey did go on...

i slept till past noon. heaven.
