can’t explain it
everyone loves a steam train
maybe they’re not good for the planet, what with all that coal, but they warm
my soul, I can’t explain it

mind the gap
the announcer says mind the
gap between the train and the platform and I do
I mind it very much
as I’m scared I won’t make it and there’s always the danger
of a very major
mishap ..

train ride
cross-country journey on the tracks
[No. 8 from The Children’s Collection]
“Neither a wise man nor a brave man lies down on the tracks of
history to wait for the train of the future to run over him.”
—Dwight D. Eisenhower
♫chu-ku-tu-ku / tu-ku-tu-ku
chu-ku-tu-ku / tu-ku-tu-ku
chu-ku-tu-ku / tu-ku-tu-ku
chu-ku-tu-ku / tu-ku-tu-ku♫
round the mountainside the engine comes,
hi-hat cymbals lighting up the drums;
at the bog walk tunnel she dissolves;
at the latter end she re-evolves.

since we’re all calling life a journey these days ..
travel by train has always seemed
to me the best way of writing about life, the monotonous journeys, the
frequent delays, the cancellations, leading to unexpected stays in hurriedly booked hotels in those never
intended destinations; but as well, there’s always those who will help one up and down from the train when they
see the struggle it entails, and it’s for them I intend to never again go off, as one might put it, he said, the rails ..

Here I Am Ready To Catch The Last Train
I do not believe this!
Here I am ready to
catch the last train
home and it left the
station before I got
the chance to get
on that locomotive!

Yukon Surreal
Yukon Surreal
Meringue snow
Where stunted pine
Awakens in Cimmerian quiet
To misty-eyed earth
Whose fogbound dream
Could be a barren Scottish highland
Where bagpipes echo
But our Yukon land
A burial ground
Marked by totem poles
To remember lost seasons
When eagle and hawk tribes
Found the path of peace
Meringue snow
Where stunted pine
Awakens in Cimmerian quiet
To misty-eyed earth
Whose fogbound dream
Could be a barren Scottish highland
Where bagpipes echo
But our Yukon land
A burial ground
Marked by totem poles
To remember lost seasons
When eagle and hawk tribes
Found the path of peace

Further Adventures of a Train Traveler
Further Adventures of a Train Traveler
Yin: “My pup has an allergy to fake men.
So long as you aren’t one he won’t bite.”
Yang: “I’ll sit with you despite Mr. Growly-Teeth.”
Yin: “But I might bite if you put on airs.”
Yang: “Once bitten, twice smitten.”
Yin: “Alright, I’ll bite you
but not on our first date.”
Yang: “I bite my tongue.”
Yin: “The cat is out of the bag.
But please feel free to get comfortable
and poetic.”
Yang: “I wish you magical sunsets
in the Fellaheen desert.

Tunnels
Having sunk to the bottom, to the trains,
you manage to get into the last car,
and stand against the window;
starts dancing overboard.
But it’s not the seams of the tunnel that flash,
but it’s not the networks of wires that run,
take a closer look - this is how time passes,
take a closer look - this is how the years fly.
And already in the dark reflection,
a larger-sized silhouette stands,
it’s good that you can’t see how
painful it is.
It's good that flickering
behind dark glass erases...
you manage to get into the last car,
and stand against the window;
starts dancing overboard.
But it’s not the seams of the tunnel that flash,

take a closer look - this is how the years fly.
And already in the dark reflection,
a larger-sized silhouette stands,
it’s good that you can’t see how
painful it is.
It's good that flickering

Train Passing
Looking down at my feet on the cold grey tiles , the tips of my shoes edging closer towards the yellow line , i can read the text stencilled on the ground although like the scramble of thoughts in my head these words make no sense to me .
I hear a tremble coming from the tunnel up the tracks . Lights gleaming brighter as they make their way towards the station , I blankly stare as they approach , Paralyzed by the thought of ending it all .
A train passes the platform on its express journey to the stadium , the wind from the carriage hits my face like punch to the cheek . I...

Waitin’ At The Station
You got rain, people, posters, trains, beetles, holsters, rain again
The band spittin’ out rainbows
The blues playing the blues
You got crowds in and out
All in a hurry or patient but going somewhere
Sun did the same depending on time of day and type of
Cloud took suns shine today
Sun wasn’t around to defend itself
Rain again
But that’s okay
Blues plays like I said before and I had to mention it again because oh did them blues play
No one seemed to notice but I barely noticed everyone not noticing because of
Don’t they hear them...

Rain again

Blues plays like I said before and I had to mention it again because oh did them blues play

some rhymes
chilling with the flow
on the road to oslo
perhaps ill meet my hoe
get the 44
unlock the door
for the shit show
ive been chilling in the mind tow
row row row my boat
lead to gun tote
with the long coat
while the rope copes
on the insects neck
the rekt sekt in check
with defect prospect
on the road to oslo
perhaps ill meet my hoe
