Train Trip

the downtown train station sparkled at noon
as six or eight passengers lugged bags
across a grand gleaming room and yet
you sat shrouded in that cloud of ongoing
gloom, tears like winter rain washed what
remained of your too soon departure to mun/
dane Midwest towns with odd names
announced with a frown in the dark
by a tired black porter,

he sang off

not out

of tune.
