I’m startled on the train in from the airport by a sudden and violent blast of air that hits the train’s windows as another train passes by in the opposite direction on the next track. You forget these everyday things when you’ve been away. The shock generates a haiku moment.

Forgotten noises:
An air blast rattles windows
