  1. There is an implied simile between the aerial view of Ls 1&2 and L3.

    And it might be interesting to do a thematic comparison reading of the following haiku about a train journey through a city seen from the ground level:

    1. The following haiku could be read as a sequel to Deborah's:

      unfulfilled dream
      so many dandelions
      along the highway
