Trains

written by: Tony Ortiz

@ProfoundAbsence

Sometimes I listen to the trains go by
And I pretend I jump on one
Not really sure where I'm going
But that doesn't really matter
Sometimes in this fantasy, I worry
Which is ridiculous because it's just a fantasy
You shouldn't have to worry about things you only think about
Right?

Written under aliases 'Absent Minded' and 'MNDFL'

ALBERT CAMUS’S – 'THE PLAGUE' - ITS RELEVANCE TODAY by GS Subbu

Whether it is the fear psychosis, the measures taken to prevent the spread of the epidemic, the dedicated and tireless work of groups of individuals in taking care of the afflicted, the resistance to the imposition of stringent regulations by the authorities and lastly the realization that we have to move on but with a changed perspective and living a new life.
