Clark Gormley #59 The Station

The Station is anything

but stationary

because nothing stops

there anymore

the process is now in train

the cars have been decoupled

opinions have been obtained

options have been entertained

consensus has been obtained

protests have been in vain

the dissenters estranged

big business has reigned

developers have been entrained

corruption has been ingrained

spokespersons have been ordained

their demeanor urbane

their propaganda insane

their proclamations disdained

“The Station is going ahead

in leaps and bounds

The Station stops at nothing

The Station is the go

The Station is all go

yet The Station goes off

The Station is on track

The Station is going ahead

full steam ahead

The Station is on the level

now that they’ve filled in the tracks

The Station is going forward

The Station stops at nothing

The Station is a platform

to reach for the future

built on the ruins

of the past”

it’s the end of the line

for the end of the line

and yet it goes on

and they go on and on

about The Station

The Station is anything

but stationary

because nothing stops

there anymore
