Every day I take the train to work and back, and it’s a pretty dull commute, except for when I start to enter Toronto. I see the high rise apartment buildings that multiply before your eyes. Then I see Skydome (now called the Rogers Centre). And then finally — the CN Tower. Anyway, the ride home is far more boring just because I’m saying goodbye, if only temporarily, to the big city. The further I get from beloved TO, the height of the buildings diminish even more. In life, we always want to be at Point A or B, but nowhere in between. The journey I take every day seems to be sitting on a seat (if I’m lucky) in absolute dead quiet. Sometimes I hear people ruffling their newspapers when they turn the pages or small talk between adults. Thankfully, the ride doesn’t last for too long — 30 minutes at most and then I’m off to said destination.
By the way, if you’re wondering why the window is a mesh screen, that’s because this particular car is covered with advertising on the outside. Even with that in the way, I can still see outside.
