Or is it a house-shaped ship?

Floridsdorf!

In motion again

the lurch unnoticed

already a matter of course of track

fixed on our way

all the way

to destination

A woman in a loud purple dress peels a brown-stained banana with the tips of her fingers

Silver rail

steel polished by steel

sheen of friction so bright it reflects the sky

and overhead cables

One and only

intractable unchanging unmoving

ground of crushed rock gravel flashes past timber ties blur below

Landscape of back gardens

allotments

the signs of the personal side

of living:

kids’ toy cars and inflatable pools
