just like the terrain of France

just like the terrain of France
this changes by the minute
when I’m up, the hills are aligned in unison
when I’m down, the water parts and mountains form from mole hills.

just like the terrain of France
I am diverse today
I am smelly, I am sweaty,
but I am fresh and clean
to the best of my ability.

just like the terrain of France
the words are hard to be formed
I have learned more Catalán than I had expected
but thankfully I have the basics to fall back on

just like the terrain of France
I want to see this through
just like my night train, however,
I wouldn’t mind it being set on autopilot.
