Ahead Of Yourself

Getting ahead of yourself
is easy to do
when you are trying to put
it all behind you
The train’s windows
act as projection screens
for dissecting discussions
that never have been
and concocting conversations
where you say what you mean
When your eyes glaze over
the passing scenes
and nothing was ever
as it always seems
it is time to turn off
those incessant daydreams

Look right through the glass
to what is real outside
and watch it rush by
it is your time to bide
pretty soon you will notice
you’ve gone and arrived
just don’t get ahead of yourself
whilst on this wild ride
