Welcome to the 87th round of reflections and looking both inwards and outwards to explore!  I give you a choice between two pictures. You can choose any one, or write two separate pieces for both, and link up.

Click clack click clack click clack

A human engine chugs down the track

Through hallways dim, with flickered light

‘Til destination is in her sight

Finds the station of daily matters

Pays the fees while epithet splatters

Gets her receipt, which ends the show

Time for the next stop, away she goes.

      Thanks Sadje. It started out with me hearing the sound of her shoes click clacking and echoing down the hallway which made me think of a train. It’s funny how the mind works sometimes.
