(A Train to New York)

What th’dead think th’train runs
th’train runs pas’th’grave                   yard

Past
th’swamp b’side
the overpass:
“You tremble
because
Your tight box can’t.
You, Your bones,
they tremble.”

A river s’wide’s the Hudson
(at least’at certain points)
+
w/its’own fact’ry
billowing its call:
“Because Your
box is immobile
You tremble as those
who walk, walk.”

All th’train has t’say
th’train’as said + repeats

Th’train’as read the house w/ no roof--
th’frail laugh’v interest + uncertainty:
“You want more as
the river passes over.”

Th’train read th’hazy docket
th’train blue paper + black.
You    Train    Rattles
trembles--
You Your train’s heavy box.
