1983년에 발표된 김광규 시인의 시다. 상행선 열차를 타고 서울로 향하는 화자가 익명의 청자에게 말을 건네는 방식으로 이루어져 있다. 산업화로 인한 농촌 해체의 문제와 소시민의 속물근성을 비판하는 시다.

Published in 1983, this collection introduces Kim Kwang-kyu’s poems which are narrated by a main character who speaks to someone on the train to Seoul. The poet voices his concerns over the breakdown of farming communities, and he criticizes the materialism of the middle class.
