arriving
at the station,
no one
gets on
or off

he double checks
the coin return-
emptiness lingers
a lonely reminder
stretched on a railroad tie

you, ready as me
there on the other coast
imagine, to hop a freight
and leave behind all
that didn’t seem quite right
a string
of covered hoppers
in the winter sun
