M Train drifts like a daydream through cafés, notebooks, and ghosts — a pilgrimage of a mind that refuses to stop creating. Patti Smith writes about loss, ritual, and the quiet work of keeping the flame alive when no one’s watching. It’s less a memoir than a meditation — a love letter to imagination, resilience, and the strange holiness of the everyday.
