Uni - In Accordance with Occam's Razor









This is a poem I wrote in the form of a train ticket.  If you can't read it this is what it says: 

Estacao de Trem - Barcelona
Uni  In Accordance with Occam's Razor

The poet is a solipsist.  Uni's travels are met with discussions from random personalities.  Dull, boring and introverted.  A bit sluggish.  Undereducated.  I could not resist conversation with him.  We spoke of parallel meeting times. 

Date:  Parallel 14:00         Time:  Notwithstanding

Cynical.  Blatant. Coarse.  Purchased a train ticket to Barcelona.  Uni was never a Republican.  He'd never been to war.  He tinkered with his ticket.  Hoping to smudge his destination.  Redemption.  Spain no longer needed him.  His irrational behavior.  This contortion. 

Tel:  Behind the ticket

Station A to Station B.  The conversation lingers.  Festers.  Hold stills.  Waits.

The stub to the right reads:

Estacao De Trem - Barcelona
Uni The Simplest Terms
Date:  Today
Time:  2:00
Fee:  $Universal.00
His travels are met with conversation.
