The formless station

With one single step out of the train there is no direction anymore there never was any- no structure, there was no architecture successfully threading the instances of the biography, successfully leading this afternoon successfully leading this career this life towards -sigh- anything There is no direction inside this station and the dawning is cold like the air escaping the closing doors and the somersaulting commuters ditching the fee Smart ones: them and the smug academic flaunting his million publications flaunting his indexed life such a professorial life straight out of graduation in one flawless impulse of his train where all the maps are clear and twelve years after he can boast his scholarly chin bearded in foreign climates and cozy colleges cozily sailing away his success Such is his station, their station, all their stations, in this forsaken life!
