<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
Would you come with me on a journey?<\/pre>\n\n\n\n
To the place strange to me <\/em>and you<\/pre>\n\n\n\n
on a chugging train <\/pre>\n\n\n\n
shaking left and right<\/pre>\n\n\n\n
would you?<\/pre>\n\n\n\n
We will see places and people<\/pre>\n\n\n\n
with strange faces and voices <\/pre>\n\n\n\n
living far in the cold <\/pre>\n\n\n\n
listening to the myths they narrate<\/pre>\n\n\n\n
and the gods they believe in<\/pre>\n\n\n\n
<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
would you come and sit with me?<\/pre>\n\n\n\n
telling stories about people at home<\/pre>\n\n\n\n
laughing to the jokes we tell<\/pre>\n\n\n\n
and the silliness of our leaders<\/pre>\n\n\n\n
that we chose to govern<\/pre>\n\n\n\n
maybe you want to lean on the window<\/pre>\n\n\n\n
watching the forest goes by<\/pre>\n\n\n\n
the warm sunset sparkling behind the trees <\/pre>\n\n\n\n
and stunning sunrise peeking in the distance <\/pre>\n\n\n\n
saying goodbye as you passed<\/pre>\n\n\n\n
<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
would you like to stay up all night?<\/pre>\n\n\n\n
staring into the darkness <\/pre>\n\n\n\n
when you\u2019re tired of sleeping <\/pre>\n\n\n\n
thinking of tomorrow <\/pre>\n\n\n\n
that has no end<\/pre>\n\n\n\n
<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
would you wake up on a train?<\/pre>\n\n\n\n
as if you\u2019re in a dream<\/pre>\n\n\n\n
running from the ghost <\/pre>\n\n\n\n
speechless and breathless <\/pre>\n\n\n\n
but laying still<\/pre>\n\n\n\n
trapped in the bed and shaking <\/pre>\n\n\n\n
left and right <\/pre>\n\n\n\n
<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
would you come and share my dinner<\/pre>\n\n\n\n
with rice we cook and sambal nyet<\/pre>\n\n\n\n
that burn the craving meals from home<\/pre>\n\n\n\n
or RTE meals that brought smells from the kitchen <\/pre>\n\n\n\n
making dinner was special<\/pre>\n\n\n\n
having it on a moving train <\/pre>\n\n\n\n
is a ritual we embraced <\/pre>\n\n\n\n
<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
would you come and create memories <\/pre>\n\n\n\n
with me and my friends <\/pre>\n\n\n\n
to the place far away<\/pre>\n\n\n\n
crossing beautiful lakes<\/pre>\n\n\n\n
and green forests <\/pre>\n\n\n\n
vast grass fields <\/pre>\n\n\n\n
and endless valleys <\/pre>\n\n\n\n
to the place close to heavens \u2026\u2026<\/pre>\n\n\n\n
would you!?<\/strong><\/pre>\n\n\n\n
