Train Stop Lovin' Part Two












With Spring the fog breaks,
The misty remains fall to the earth
Smote by the palest sunlight
The tracks become clear,
The path is no longer blurred by questions.

Long straights pointing South
(I knew it all along as I strode these Northern hills)
But suddenly the curve is upon me.
The redwoods beckon
And I have given my answer.

despite having a bad attitude, i want you to know that this writing is really good. a very apt and beautiful metaphor.


so, my rusty train-track soul, we've shared an awfully scenic ride.



i support everything in you. including the south part.
