3 a.m. Train: SLC Station

Train....
        3 a.m....
Is that a train?            Choo-Choo!
Am I awake?
Is this a dream?
Passengers wait on a platform
I didn't know trains ran this early
Did I really see them waiting?
Is what I saw only a projection of my imagination- a sleep induced hallucination- a dream?
    The conductor blows the whistle....
I have heard this sound before
It wakes me from my sleep
    The sound is so distant, so far away....
A vague familiarity comforts me
Bicycle
Pedals
Lights
Wind
A platform
Sleep....
        Sleep....
                Sleep....
The doors are open, should I board?
