[lit-ideas] Goodbye Train

[atri2715 <atri2715@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I am done with the train. The romance of the railway, the double-enetndres of 
the morning ride, the melancholy of the station; I have let it all go. I 
didn't mind the mornings, I hated the evenings--the hollowness, the emptiness, 
the  eternal delays. I was delayed, endlessly deferred, on the way home, there 
was no home anymore. A month ago there was even a suicide, in front of the 
express high speed train. Enough. So I found a new home, without a train. 
Alas, still a bus and a subway, as a pale reminder. I will always be a 
commuter. Let us then commute.

And now, it turns out, you can even get killed on trains, in Leeds, in Boston, 
in Madrid.
