At work with No work!!

I'm at work and got NO work. Its like in the train. Everyone has settled down. Everyone is quiet and everyone has finally occupied themselves with something or the other. Never the best feeling but theres not much one can do in a train. You're in a unique way handicapped and the fact that you dont have as many options as you normally do makes you suffocate. Some random voices keep coming along just like within the train, except, theres no child crying away to the roof and out of it. And just as silence rules, someone with tea comes up and its all chirpy again. People are alive again. Alive with each other and not just within themselves. Its pretty obvious that everyone would wish to do something better but just the fact that they are in this train convinces them that they cant.

Just keep imagining. We are a social animal, and yet in this train, everyone is quiet... for hours... just thinking within themselves. It is indeed a new different world out there. Not just one different world, but dozens of different worlds. Some indeed chit and chat but the rest just hibernate with their eyes open. They are not aware where this train is going at the moment... it has started flying away to the place where they really want to be, or the place they've already been to. Maybe some loved one, some enemy, but a place where theres more life, more drama, more laughter or the worst of tears. I've caught myself thinking so many times even though its almost against the law for me to think cuz ive just recently lost my wisdom... all 4 of them.

They seem to be just staring in the wind, staring at the poles, at that other eye, at the rail or at the chair. But its not just a stare. Infact they can't see what they are looking at because their eyes have changed for the moment. Their eyes is their mind. Their vision is the new world. Try entering it but its just not possible. Their minds just seem to walk away.

I keep wondering... had there been no worries, no laughter, no memories, no emotions... would this be possible?? Is this what they really mean by the term day dreaming?? I've asked myself enough and even before i could answer it, i realised that that vision just blurred, that world just got dark and even before the speed of light, i see myself awake again, just staring... staring away.
