the last train
the train departs
on the hour every hour
never late
never early
but always mostly full
it you want to leave today
then baby you got all day
and if you don’t
well the train keeps going anyway
—every tomorrow
the train departs
on the hour every hour
never late
never early
almost always full
october two thousand twenty-four
