You drowse in the rhythm of the JR train’s click over the tracks opening your eyes briefly as the train hushes into another station.
This half-consciousness, more like forced meditation on an icy morning than real sleep; you draw out a long over due yawn as Koizume Station drifts past.

You wonder why the softness of a child’s nap always eludes them on the sleepy late afternoon trains.
