after 2 glasses of absinthe

i astral projected to another plane

i remember catching a train

and seeing a cute girl leading us

into the car

i ran in as the doors were closing

she gave me a push to ensure

i did not get stuck in their steel teeth

as the train pulled away

i turned to look at her

as she wept in the depot

she has been on my mind all day

i wonder what happened to her

and if she caught the next train

or if she’s still performing her acts

of charity to fellow travelers

in the astral realm

cursing herself every time she

misses a train
