love (in a time of passing trains)

Frank Prem

I have no
ticket

 

just a hiss
then a kiss

 

a clatter down the line

doors open
on the platform side

 

in and out
and
in and out

 

I wait

 

one north
one south

 

go

 

go

 

go

 

go

 

don’t need
a ticket
to stand
right in the heart
right here
where I am

 

just a hiss

just
a kiss

 

the door will open
on the platform side

      Thanks for the enjoyable train ride, Frank. I always have loved trains, and remember riding the steam-driven locomotive train into Chicago as a child.
