runaway train
runaway boy trapped inside
an empty box
thoughts traveling thousands of
miles per hour
shirtless and friendless and speechless
sights set on any destination
freezing inside on a starless night
small fire burns inside rolling stock
holding out hands
craving another smoke
occasionally peering through slats
at a moon chasing eerie clouds
tumbling headlong through an
unknown countryside
flowers and butterflies and
home-cooked meals
infiltrate dreams inside a train
racing backwards and driverless
november two thousand fifteen
