Will we see fire
Death and pain
Fall from the fingertips
Of the insane
Will we get tweets
Of our own destruction
From a man whose mind
Is on permanent malfunction
If you’re searching for truth
You’d better not ask
The man hiding behind
His bright orange mask
What we do this day
Can never be undone
The ropes we let bind us
Can never be unstrung
And yet we will still
Praise his name
Don’t worry about it
There’s always someone else to blame
Through shoeless feet I feel
The ground trembling
I thrust my fist into the air
And pump it up and down
The blast of the horn drives me back a step
I yell, but my voice will not rise above the beast’s roar
My heart’s beat begins to match the rhythm from the sound
Of its massive wheels and my head swoons as I watch the cars gently roll from side to side…Powerful and terrifying
It seems to lift me off my feet and pull me closer
I am afraid the steel monster will devour me
My legs will not let me back away
At last I see the bright red caboose
I wave my arms wildly and in answer
To my exaggerated welcome
A grey sleeved arm
Slips out the window
The gloved hand waves
The roar subsides
The trembling vanishes
On weakened knees
I cross the tracks

Educación, reflexiones y cultura general.
Life is a patchwork of moments — laughter, solitude, everyday joys, and quiet aches. Through scribbled stories, I explore travels both far and inward, from sunrise over unfamiliar streets to the comfort of home. This is life as I see it, captured in ink and memory. Stick around; let's wander together.
