The    Train    Is   A   Dashing   Arrow 
 Over              The               Sea. 
                                     
                                    
                                     
 Look   Closer   -   It'S   Not    Water. 
                                    
                                  
                                    
 The Lowland Which  Was  Once The Midriff 
 Of  Sweden.  The  Salt  Flats  Span  For 
 Hundreds Of Miles.  From  A  Narrow Line 
 Of  Hills The  Train Lowers  Itself Onto 
 The Crystals  And Shoots  North, Like  A 
 Syringe       Into       A       Baloon. 
                                  
                                
                                  
                                
                                  
 They Call  It  The  "Mandelbrot Crater", 
 And It Is The Rest Of A Mining Disaster. 
                                    
                                   
                                    
 Sun  Hits  The Four-Railed  Track, As It 
 Fractures  Into  Villages  Or Past Them. 
 The  People  Here  Are  Pale But  Crisp, 
 Reflections   Of   Some   Other    World 
                                     
                                    
                                     
 They Always Seem A Bit Annoyed  That You 
 Are   Manifesting  Them  Into   Physical 
 Form.  Like If  You  Weren'T Here,  They 
 Would  Be  Nothing  More  Than  The  Sun 
 Against           The           Platform
