cameron
as
the
train
approached,
it
slowed
down
in
my
head
,
the
distance
and
time
rubbing
off
on
each
other
like
the
subjects
of
highschool
trigonometry.
it
allowed
me
to
board
itself
,
and
in
one
swift
motion
i
stepped
up
and
boarded
a
green
and
primer boxcar.
swept
away
like
a
fish
in
the
grasps
of
an
eagle
.
the
landscape
is
blurred
from
where
i
am
now
sitting
where
the
sliding
door
is
opened
,
but
i
can
still
make
out
the
stiff
ugly
grass
and
easier
the
fluffy
clouds
that
seem
set
in
place
.
the
emptiness
and
temperature
of
the
prairie implies
it
is
stale
,
but
it
is
clean
and
empty
.
the
hollow
sound
of
air
breaking
on
my
face
plays
like
a
soundtrack
to
the
miles
of
looming
prairie appearing
and
disapearing
in
every
direction
.
distant
and
above
the
gravitating
effects
of
still
life
,
i
start
to
notice
the
slow
destructive
nature
of
it
all
.
the
grass
brushed
sideways
by
the
wind
tunneling
from
the
train
, struggling
to
uproot
itself
and
escape
from
this
noise
.
the
screams
of
the
obligatory
damsel
in
distress
tied
to
the
tracks
ahead
of
us
.
i
close
my
eyes
.
what
is
the
sky
?
it's
an
illusion
created
by
the
sun
.
why
is
it
blue
?
because
it
is
wet
when
the
sky
shines
through
it
.
why
is
the
grass
green
?
because
the
sun
impregnates
the
earth
.
then
why
is
it
now
yellow
?
because
it
has
just
passed
away
.
