Writing On The Rail
— Carla Stanley —
The journal train
going that way
tonight now today
paint out plays
bold names colored in square car frames
plain sight rolling
daisy chain
linked boxes holding hands running
in their track suits
whistle toots over clickity clack tap dance
front back quickie glance
one engine long
pull toy
love
romance
(c) 3/28/17 Carla Stanley
