A small segment that marked the end of a long and vivid dream.
I am near train tracks, at a station, to pick up a football I've thrown (made a pass?) that has landed near them. A train approaches, I hear the whistle and step back. As the train goes by some cars derail and roll down an embankment.
LIke watching a train wreck.
I look at the wrecked container cars (just some of the train, which may well have continued on) and am curious about possible injuries or fatalities. But there are no passenger cars. Still, men who seem to have been "contained" (perhaps imprisoned) (although now that I write this, they seem the sort who may've been riding the rails) emerge from the openings in the cars created by the crash, walking out through where tops or sides of the cars have been torn away. And none seem to be injured; in fact there is the sense they have been liberated/freed somehow.
One in fact brings up the cardboard he'd (ostensibly) been using as a bed and lays it out underneath him, then down upon it to sun himself near the tracks.
I inquire: What did the release of the men in the containers car mean, when the train jumped the tracks?
44, changing lines 3 and 5, to 64.
What I found most immediately amusing is how 44 is sometimes referenced as "coupling." Couplings are also, of course, the hook-up devices that connect one railroad car to another. A quick search for an image of "train coupling" will give you the picture if you're unfamiliar (and curious). Further, video of this coupling of cars offers an applicable portrayal of "coming to meet."
These cars wrecked on the side of the tracks have come UNcoupled from the rest of the train. But this event that might have the appearance of "disaster" has been, at least for the uninjured railriders emerging from windowless container cars, a Godsend. (Their great breakthrough has been this UNcoupling.)
I also consider the notion that this is the portrayal of how a particular train, or part of it anyway, arrives at the station.
Crash landing?
Maybe not many style points, but...?
At any rate, no fatalities, nobody hurt, but still, Not Yet Across, and I suspect the necessity of truly understanding more about the derailing is significant, where "getting there" is concerned. There is something mysterious and cryptic about the trainwreck that makes me wonder about the allure (back to the "can't look away" angle) of the "powerful woman" one might be better to dance with at a respectful, maybe even conservative distance.
Something about my expectation of injury and being (happily) mistaken about that seems to hint at a concern about something that proves to be maybe something like just what the doctor ordered. Further, those particular rails the cars were on may have served their purpose.
Hmm.
