Welcome aboard the Aries Express

Welcome aboard the Aries Express 1838.

Please note the following
Safety Instructions.
In the seat pocket in front of You,
You will find a notebook and a black pen.
When the captain has turned off the
seatbelt sign, please procede
To write, write like a maniac.
Write down the places you've ever been,
The things you've said, the songs you sang,
the wines you tasted, the people you loved.
Because at cruising altitude
We will approach maximum speed
meters per second of
Three times ten to the eighth power.
At which time all electronic devices
must be switched off.
And your memory will be
erased.


Upon descent on the northeast
corner of the waning Moon, at ETA
18 minutes, 38 seconds,
Neighboring Express trains will
come into view, Starboard side.
The Saturnalia Twin Generation 2807
is particularly heavy,
expect turbulance.
The Passengers of 2807 may be
confused.
They may stare or take pictures of You.
The cutting edge of technology of
Your AE 1838 enables us to travel
at highest velocity,
leaving even the Heat
behind.


Refreshments will be served shortly.
Please sit back and enjoy
And write, write like a maniac.

What a terrifying journey. We should never travel so fast that we forget. Our pace of life can indeed erase our memories.

This is great, I love the way you have taken a starlight quality and placed into something we can all appreciate.
When we live in the moment there is no past or future, so sometimes we do erase our memories.
