The practise of sitting and watching the world go by on a train really highlights the fact that glass is a substance that both reflects and transmits light - that is, you may see yourself and your world concurrently, the outside and inside combined, the you and the them on the same plane. I remember taking the Holden Caulfield run - part of it at least, Philadelphia to New York, listening to Neil Young's `After the Goldrush' twice in a row, head all in a spin contemplating the new idea that was my impending motherhood, watching the people on the street, eating salty pretzels with crystals in the bottom of the packet, staring at a boy with a guitar case who was fast asleep, probably going home for the Easter holiday in a few days' time.

I'd rather catch a train than any other form of transport, any day.
