Morning train

It's a strange orange glow
The rolling LED sign emits
Reflected in the dull fluorescent boxes
Marching the length of the ceiling
Still brighter than the morning light outside

Green fields, trees and hedges roll by
Through drizzle splattered windows
Steamy smudges accumulate between panes
As the heating blows furiously
In the warm reek of the carriage

I feel tired
