Height of Emotion II (Train of Thought)...

Now the Old Freight

has gone back,

actually,

this part of the tracks

is just part of the turnaround,

as the Train,
Old before the last World War,

went back,

then forth,

back,

then forth

for I don't know what

Good Reason
(it is on a track, after all)

and my track atop

and alongside

the rail is gone...

Again,
the Mad Gleam,
once more
another scheme,
and back upon the rail I go;
this Time
made so much easier
for the passing Freight,
its weight has compacted
the snow just right
and I can walk down
the pencil line
drawn in the sunlight,
softly whisper a name
that hasn't changed
all these years,
though I know better;
or do I,
or have I?...
