Continuity by Phillip A. Ellis

I dreamt and remembered
   another town, in the distance
of time that's forgotten,

and, visiting briefly
   and car-clad, recently, found I
had changed, yet continued.

Travelling North by Phillip A. Ellis

Travelling north
in a train. I am
reading graffiti, faded,
and you can see me
here. Look, through glass,
past Thirroul, and I am
dreaming poetry. We are
dreaming poetry. We are
past Thirroul, and I am
here. Look, through glass,
and you can see me
reading graffiti, faded,
in a train. I am
travelling north.
