XIII: The journey

I am on a train.
Where it is going
I do not know.

Actually, that’s a lie.
I know exactly where it's going.
But it sounded more poetic
Not to.

  2. Funnily enough, I was on a train from London to Crewe when I wrote this, so it works literally as well as figuratively!

  4. When I read this, I laughed out loud. Yet, as a poet (not trying to equate myself with you), I understand the temptation to write what sounds more poetic, instead of what's true.
