“Sitting on a Sideways Train”

“Sitting on a Sideways Train”

Sitting on a Sideways Train,

Going nowhere and everywhere.

Confused and disjointed.

Moving perpetually askew.

Doors open and close,

A heartbeat snare.

People wrapped up in self.

Ricka-racka-clack,

Ricka-racka-clack.

Lulled to sleep on the Metronome.

Some journeys,

You never get off.
