PASSENGER TRAIN

The day the planes

refused to land...

Day skyscrapers

refused to stand...

Train came New York

& train smiled sweetly...

The train took on passengers

& was filled up completely.

The passenger train

arrived in my head...

Early last night;

it survied & it said

that disaster comes after

we know that they're gone -

The words of the train -

did not comfort for long...

But I smiled for the passengers

as they waved goodbye...

& it was only long after they left

that I cried.
