Sure.

The train appears, preceded by an annoying whistle, roars past, then
disappears without leaving a trace.

Thus observed, the train has demonstrated impermanence, unsatisfactoriness
and emptiness.

To perform this exercise correctly, however, one must not behave like the
characters in the film "Trainspotting."
