Amtrack

Amtrack speeding along the rails.
Amtrack,
I so love
sways gently to and fro.The train out of Chicago
was a double decker
so I climb the circular stairway
to the observation car.
Amtrack was trying to make time after a 3 hour delay in chicago.
I make my way to the dining car
and order a vegen dish
then make my way back down the stairs and to the club car.
I get to enjoy a cigarette there
and someone treats me to a Gin and Tonic.
Not being a drinker,
I take a tasten and leave the glass on the table.
After a second cigarette,
I make my way to my car
and allow the train rock me to sleep.
I fall asleep watching the backside of houses and factories and telephone poles
as we race past them.
Amtrack is in a one man race to Kansas City
to make up the three hour loss of start time.
I find myself rocked to sleep
by the speeding bullet riding the rails.

I watch the day
and the wind swirls leaves around.
It is Spring
but the wind is cold and strong
as I sit
by the window waiting
for winter to fade away.
Spring,everything comes alive.
I hope I will to.
Spring into my life,
into the lives of others,
needing your life,
