Empty Train Car
#6 of Poems
Had one to myself a couple evenings ago, which doesn't happen often. The moment struck me, and I put this together. Also playing around with the shapes a bit more.
Empty Train Car
"The next station is ..."
Scattered debris, kicked aside by unwary feet. Scratched plastic, molded to fit.
"Passengers for ..."
Abandoned seats row by row. Screech of tracks, cars shunt and rattle.
"Millennium line train to ..."
Echoes of past conversation. Scattered thought, lingering midair.
"Last train leaving ..."
Ghosts of the day gone by
Fading
Away
Red signal light
End of line.
