Toward Philadelphia


On an evening train from Boston sit a pair of people.
Fighting off the hours to Philly,
One opens a book of physics, one gazes
Out of the dark window and into herself.
What will you find there, in the theory of elasticity?
Is there another kind ofmind there? Are you dreaming just like me?
