I am always just missing trains. Doors are always just closing. Lights are always just fading into a tunnel. I'm always standing alone on a platform humming with post-departure silence. Calculating that, if I'd just started running sooner, or if I hadn't stopped to buy that bottle of water. Calculations that never add up.
Look, if you want to know the truth, I probably just make as many trains as I just miss. But negative experiences tend to outweigh positive ones in the brain. So it seems like I'm always just missing trains. When it would be more accurate to say: Sometimes I just miss trains, and sometimes I just make them.
Fuck that. Perception is everything.
I am always just missing trains.
I don't care if this isn't true.
