Train Tunnel Dub

Posted by on Wed, Jun 8, 2011 at 2:13 PM

I wrote this in 2007...

The trains never stop. From the tunnel's opening just below Pike Place Market to its opening here, at King Street Station, they run all day and all night... On one particular night, there is a very long train making a journey to a land that seems to have bought an entire state. Bridges, telephone poles, toys, homes, people, animals—everything is going to this amazing place. The engine is pulling a thousand freight cars. One after the other, the wheels and cargo of the chained cars rumble and rattle.
That piece of writing was inspired by two things. One: The Pioneer Square apartment I left a week ago:

And, of course, Burial. To live in that apartment was to live in Burial's dub.
