Can't Ignore the Train

Steep is the water tower

Painted off blue to match the skyCan't ignore the trainNight walks in the valley silent

You could swear the earth just movedCan't ignore the trainDust to be kicked up

In the crack faced idle sinister town

Screen door to the rail station, devil in her shoe

Ran along side the wasted tracks

Hem pins darted in her calvesCan't ignore the trainOne spoiled girl with the tidiest apology

Some how wedged inside her throatCan't ignore the trainPatience their virtue but I never could abide by that

Dungeon life with electric light, a clean towel and a basin

Mantle figures mind their places and laughs where they belongThrough adventure we are not adventuresome

Rage to share with a wardrobe mirror

In a room so beige and coldCan't ignore the trainWindow days saw the children pick their

Street games on thirty, thirty, thirty afternoons

Molly the boys are starting in that rhyme again

Teasing more and moreThe second daughter, how she fell?

Young locked in Some Folk's Prison, made to dwell

'Til they're braiding her gray hair sitting in the wishing chair

Sitting in the wishing chair, sitting in the wishing chair
