Literature Text

The night comes on cold and clear -
alive with anticipation.
Ambling forward mundanely to reach
an adventure that lies across the pond.
Packed full -
a tin of sardines
passing time as we hang suspended in the sky.
Morpheus and Chronus work in unison
to weave a web so complex that mind
and body are contorted like marionettes
with their strings in knots.
The silver machine touches down
with slight turbulence and we stumble through
unknown streets -
bewildered and trapped in a dream-like state.
The surreal becomes more tangible as
night melts into day melts into night.
We finally find the beginning and unravel
the dream to wake into the history of a city
where its stories and culture is emmanated
from within its stones.

28/12/11.
The joy of travelling and jetlag when you don't have time to catch up and only time to explore every ounce of a new city or country.

i have trouble accepting that it is not a spaceship trip you refer to. but probably because i recently finished a sci-fi book.

or maybe it really was another world.
