THE TRAIN

Like a student
learning his lessons
assimilating all that he reads
emerges successful scoring higher marks
drawing appreciation of his teachers;
like a mountaineer
scaling steep heights
until he conquers the summit and
displaying the ‘V’ signal
celebrates his feat in front of the world;
we are in a race to
head into a crowded train
sans knowing where
we wish to get down
sans knowing the
ultimate destination
travel day and night
and with the train
coming to an abrupt halt at
its destination point 
we step down
and trumpet our ‘victory’ 
before the world
for no apparent reason.
