Railway Run in Edinburgh
I am late, so I am running
Through Edinburgh, the sun going away
From the castle to Haymarket
Trying to catch a train
The streets are narrow
And full of people
Red lights force stop traffic
Wish I had a bike
As cars stand still
I can smell their sweet perfume
And fresh bread from the bakery
I hear the fierce trumpets fire
I am flying—that’s how it feels—
See the blue sky from the corner of my eye
And then catch a glimpse of a train moving
