The Fast Train
The fast train is a poem analogy that compares the speed of modern life to a fast train. It has been used since the 19th century and can be seen as an early form of science fiction.
The poem starts with the narrator wishing they could get on the fast train and travel to places they have never been before. The narrator then says they would like to see the world, but it is too late because they are too old. They then say that if only there were a way to go back in time and live their life over again, this time making different choices so that they don't end up in regretful situations. The poem ends with the narrator saying that it is not too late for them because there is still time for them to change their ways and get on board the fast train.
