i went to the station no suitcase in my hand and there an old man you leavin or stayin i’m re-parting remaining and departing at the same time that is i’m here but never here

so there i sat on the platform watching the trains come and go people’s faces staring out at other possible realities each better than their own that is they’re here but never here
