Metro meditation
I put my head down.
I'm closing my eyes.
Let this thought pass through.
Let the memory fade away.
Let this thought pass through.
Listen just to the noise.
of doors that just closed.
Keep your eyes closed,
with the mouth open.
Breathe.
Stop thinking about it.
Let this thought pass through.
There you go. Here you go, it's fading away.
There's almost nothing left.
I believe
that I'm
falling asleep.
I can hear the subway coming through.
I imagine people in it.
Who may be watching through the window
the trees, the blue sky.
The end of the day.
They're wandering around. They are rocked
by the mechanical movement of the train.
I can just hear the clash of footsteps on the ground.
Very sweet.
What peace !
That's it now.
I'm on a trip.
I can feel it.
In my body.
I am on the train.
I am all the people on the train.
I am the world.
