“Lay my head on the railroad line. Train come along; pacify my mind. ”

“I realized that I was really tired of people popping on and off of my property like it was a train station on the supernatural railroad.”

“The whole blear worldof smoke and twisted steelaround my head in a railroadcar, and my mind wanderingpast the rust into futurity:I saw the sun go downin a carnal and primevalworld, leaving darknessto cover my railroad trainbecause the other side of theworld was waiting for dawn.”

“I'm intelligent because my mother stood in the brain-line and not the train-line.”

“A man walks fast along the forecourt of the station towards a gate, moving towards a train that's about to leave. I get shivery all over as I watch the back of his head, which is about Yuan's height, with hair and a neckline just like his. My eyes tell me what my mind knows cannot be true. I follow him along seeking the one thing that would confirm him as someone else. The man turns his head slightly to talk to a train official. I can see his nose in profile. My eyes sting.”

“Lay your sleeping head, my love,Human on my faithless arm;”
