Direction of Travel

Choose your seat reservation

Or hope for the best

Make sure you get your preference

Or jostle with the rest

What is your preference anyway?

Indulge me, do

How do you like to travel?

What's your desired point of view?

Does facing rearwards

Make your stomach churn?

Or does having something to look back on

Make you truly yearn?

Watching it all fade away

Till it's a distant memory

But recall always brings a smile

So easily

Prefer to look for what lies ahead

And have it approach you in a rush?

A glorious blur of uncertainty

That's your crush?

Focused only on the next

Embrace the fresh, the new

Eyes fixed firmly forwards

That's the only view 

Concentrate on what has passed?

Or only in future do you confide?

You think I'm talking about life, right?

Nope, just about this long train ride
