when no-one wants the view?
They sit and stare at laptops
plugged in, connected, hooked up too
would the fares be cheaper
if the walls were no longer glassed
would we miss the cattle
and villages we passed?
Engineers would be happy
to alter the design
trains would be much faster
because of the streamline
You wouldn't notice tunnels
no sunshine on your face
on this blanked out journey
at this slightly faster pace
Someone would eventually be forced
to write a protest ditty
Why don't trains have windows
when travelling Intercity?
