@CrossCountryUK very stressed looking platform dude informs us the next train is 14.30. it's not, it's 14.12. We're on the 14.30, let's see what time we arrive.
@CrossCountryUK so, there's more. New, 4 carriage beyond rammed train from derby, everyone standing, quite a few unable to even board, terminates, in Birmingham. We're told this as we arrive in Birmingham
@CrossCountryUK another excellent service. 20 minutes late from Sheffield, can live with that. Rammed, as usual, can live with that. But splitting an already overloaded train at Derby, so only the rear 4 coaches go forward...? That is next level.
....that comes from fighting, from fleeing, from taking our demons on. And we use our partners’ supposed weakness to fuel our own dragons.
If only. If, maybe… If, well, I don’t know.
#amwriting If only. If, maybe… If, well, I don’t know. If something could be more certain, certain to be understood. If all the words we spoke weren’t silenced by intentions that were… good?
If all of this was unwritten, if its need wasn’t written large. If my name was Homer, and her name was Marge. Then perhaps we’d all settle, settle in and find our peace. But as it is, we struggle to let go of the release...
