I do always prefer honesty.

What a ride! Visually racing along with the progression of thought. Well done!

I think you can take this imagination/creativity/apophenia train(s) poem anyway you’d like and not be off track :) . Happy you enjoyed the ride Ravenblack!

They really are scenes that are rushing by. &&&& as human shapes would be something I would never have thought about. We see tracks, mountain peaks, hear the conductor whistle or call (asterisks), screeching metal on tracks, feel the wind, the soundless scene (……) going by.

Images and ideas are coming from two trains at once, thus the feeling like they have collided, but they have not, it seems they both going at the same time or perhaps they are really one train looked at from different angles, such the feeling is different, I feel. If I’m going off track by myself, apologies! :)

Fun ride. I’m a bit overwhelmed by the many ideas though. :) But very fun.

It matters most in coming up with an excellent verse!

Such a delight in artistry.
