To many a regular train user in the UK and perhaps other countries, “Mind the Gap” or “Mind the Step” comes second only to the persistent reminders akin to “Don’t leave your possessions you clearly wanted to take with you lying around, in case we think it explodes”. However, at my local station, possibly from putting the tiles back down in the wrong place from installing a shelter on the platform, a simple mistake exists (due to a mistake – a mistake involving a mistake karmic – uploading my original photo to the site, original picture here):
Mind not-quite-in-the gutter? Mind on the floor? Single-track mind? If I’d got it in the photo, sheltered Mind? Plenty of expressive opportunities, but I just fudged about with the colours to make it seem a little distant, dulled and more importantly, to leave the question open so it’d make a good desktop wallpaper.
What? I’m just not in a philosophical/self-indulgent arty/angsty description/bullshit mood at 2315. I just found it amusing. After all, it’s a mind I’ve quite often trampled all over. Often when losing my own over train timetabling, delays and level crossing failures…
…but that’s a blog entry for another time. Soon. I promise.
