Trains

Trains

Near Corinth they sit,

sometimes for days,

on the siding beneath

the newly constructed railroad bridge

deciding

“Where to go?”

“What to do?”

In Cynthiana

Trains go roaring through:

Past stores, churches, homes,

3M and Bullard

Charging past

Lexington and Corbin,

through Knoxville, Chattanooga, and Atlanta

And finally to Pass Christian—

where they come up against the Gulf of Mexico

and

finally,

must

stop.
