In the shadow train this month, Sandra Tappenden lies down on the top bunk;  Chris Gutkind uses the ATM and wants to cry;  Michael Egan’s walk threatens something; Alan Dunnett mentions animal breathings of concentration; Annie Clarkson listens and hears nothing;  James McGowan takes a good look at Ithaka, ponders Homer and translates Wolfgang Borchert; Sheree Mack reflects on white women; Cherry Butler fancies the Spanish barman rotten; and Carole Coates gets to the light switch just on time.
