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.

Parked at Argentine
From twilight to dawn
A train moves slowly
through the yard -
no bells, no whistles.
Just the lowing steel wheels
rolling over resounding tracks,
like the long soft thunder
in a deepened aloneness.
A train moves slowly

MIDNIGHT TRAIN AWAY FROM PAIN
It's said if your plate's full to get a bigger one
If life was that easy it would always be fun
The Sun doesn't shine bright each & everyday
Things won't consistently go our merry way
Pendulums sway from blissful to melancholy
They don't hold back punches from anybody
Attacking the holy, the worldly & the wicked
At some point in time we'll all get afflicted
There are no tickets for the midnight train
Even in Georgia you'll endure some pain
Just have to try to maintain through it all
Looking for silver lining...
If life was that easy it would always be fun
The Sun doesn't shine bright each & everyday
Things won't consistently go our merry way
Pendulums sway from blissful to melancholy
They don't hold back punches from anybody
Attacking the holy, the worldly & the wicked
At some point in time we'll all get afflicted
There are no tickets for the midnight train
Even in Georgia you'll endure some pain
Just have to try to maintain through it all
Looking for silver lining...

The 6:66, Express To Hell
In the fading last light you're stumbling in the smoke of imminent doom
Trapped in a subway to nowhere, that's more akin to a maze, or a tomb
And there's a shattering shaking, as the earth is quaking under your feet
As you look for a way out, but there's no escape from a permanent sleep
And then you're turning a corner and ahead, slightly ajar, there's a door
But when you pass through there's no stairwell, there's not even a floor
And there's naught but air 'neath your feet and then a slope of a funnel
As you uncontrollably spiral, but there's a...
