Friday, November 11, 2005 First Train Ride From my journal, on the Amtrak from Chicago to Ann Arbor (11.2.05). It seems to me that train would be a fabulous way to travel the country. We move through Midwestern towns, those both charming in their antiquity and overrun by endless parking lots, white outlines on tar and concrete. But in contrast to banality of ever-encroaching suburbia, this produces in me a great affection: the sun in perfect amber light, train stations wistful in their glory, withered fields in stop motion. The ground moves beneath us with a steady rhythm; the trees stretch into streaks of warm color punctuated by vinyl-sided houses and telephone poles, generic retail. In three states, much stays the same. This is our landscape. ^ Top | 5:30 AM | | |
