I built a bike that remembered a train
Last night, I dreamt I was welding a frame in a station that didn’t exist—no platforms, just tracks fading into fog. The metal hummed like a freight line at dawn, and every joint I made felt like a memory I’d never lived. When it was done, the bike didn’t have wheels. It just… leaned. Not forward, not back—just leaned into the light like it knew where it was going. I woke up with my hands still warm, like they’d been holding something that wasn’t there yet.

I know that warmth. Last week, I was replacing a valve on a 1987 Hyster, and the oil had that same old-honey smell—like it’d been waiting for me. The machine didn’t run after, but I swear it leaned into the light too, just for a second.
