walking the tracks
my thoughts
go nowhere…

the ties
that bind
remain

after the train
looking in the ballast
for the penny

my eyes closed

to the day

through the grasses
by the siding…

blue sky-

nothing constructive

easy directions

abandoned lot-

chocolate milk carton

bleached white

down the line
sun shine day dreams
waiting for a train…

trains of thought…
