Attention all passengers.  

The delay we are experiencing 
is not the eternal delay.  
The red signal ahead 
is not the eternal red signal.  

The train just behind this one is the eternally real.  
The doors you are holding open have their origin 
in this particular train.  

Free from the closing doors, you realize the mystery.
Caught in the closing doors, you see only the manifestations.

Yet mystery and manifestations
arise from the same source:
A train going out of service at DeKalb.  

Darkness within darkness.
The gateway to all understanding.  
Please use all available doors.
