a foreword

  
  
Last night I dreamt
I was on a passenger train
with my students.

We were headed somewhere
far away. But instead of
going there






our train was circling
around one city over and
over again-- 20 times.
Later in the dream someone
was talking about books of
poems, and I asked them:





  

"Do you mean
Transformaciones?
The book with the Butterfly
on the cover..."

"The book about the train
that circles the same city
20-times on the way to
somewhere far away?"












They said "No," and I tried to explain the significance and poetry of the train's orbit and our lives' repetitions...
