Lapping up the laudanum another day of normalcy today...today there was no pain today the train ran just on time. Here I am alone again whittle down the track no end counting wood-- surrendered slats curving past a beckoning of trees that dare to green - again-- Or just another ticking taunt? Perhaps, perhaps, again I pray. A shrug - as I say anyway.... Flat-head shoveling the coal dust as if prepared black-face tears and blood (or is that sweat?) It's all the same in dark regret gathering the steam, I build... "I think I can-- I think I am learning to lean into curves Patterns in the puffs of smoke reveal the bones of all of me so I stub my cigarette and beg a show of ticketry, pulling on the whistle-stop as I punch the holes in card... "Have a pleasant stay," I say. "Remember us, for your next trip." As if you ever had a choice. |

Thanks all...I appreciate ya'll taking the time to read this'n. I'm not that happy with it--it's kind of emotionally distant and rather contrived for my taste--but thanks for the encouragement while I go through the writer's block thang. |
