Kit Kelen #1443 - the train

1443
the train
at Wollstonecraft


the train is a kind of a comfort to hear
means you can always go
go anywhere

I mean it’s there
it’s not
it will be

and in the hours missing
called sleep
trains are dreamt

wars’ worth
and long commutes

some go for the whole of the track
rhythm of blues
harp to

meaning there can be no other trains

bumper to bump
and sidings to shunt

we live where time’s acceleration
and here we are in it
no steam but punk

come again
tell me
train keeps its old pace

runs through the bush
all of it

sleep on the straps
in any city

here
away to another country
else-when of us

so flowers are strewn
away to another time
