She hears the rapid punch of pinking shears coming from behind. Trees blur and the cars on the highway stand still. This is not the right train and dust is collecting, forever and ever on a box on a shelf in a burned down house.
She debarks and walks quickly through the maze of commuters with her elbows locked for impact with any moving target in line with her mean trajectory. "Do I have a conscience? Am I dreaming”?
Dirty blonde clusters of what didn't make it to the wastebasket or her t-shirt covered the bathroom sink and floor. She paused before cleaning the mess to ask herself for the ninth time that day, "am I dreaming?"
Suddenly she remembered where it was she kept her true soul. It was inside a shoebox on a shelf inside a dream of her old room in the old house, her parents' house that burned down.
