The view from a train window always feels a little like a dream.
Receding landscapes, blurred city lights, passing faces-
so fleeting and uncertain, yet somehow etched deep within memory.
We may seem to be looking at the same scenery,
but no two people ever see the same thing.
Still, through the shared experience of gazing out a window,
I feel we can overlap our worlds, if only for a moment.
A school trip bus, a drive home with family, a daily commute-
I've been traveling in search of those fragments of memory,
the ordinary scenes once seen and long forgotten.
