Riding the Train

by Maple Tree   Feb 2, 2013


Steam loaded,
taking a ride,
far and wide, leaving
hand prints at the base
of arrival, screaming engine
burns.

What a rush, salty skies
whisper explosive tension
in the air of heightened
excitement, faster-
faster- twisting, turning
welcoming the tunnel-

Eight inches to go, railway
and my way... This ride
is a thunderous explosive,

locomotive-

    As I am an entirely innocent person, I only read this as a train spotter would and I am left wondering

    'did you take the number of this steam locomotive?'
