—GRAVITY DON’T MAKE NO SENSE WHEN YOU’RE AROUND

 

 

Train Songs

 

Let’s sing train songs 

on a train overfilled 

with puppies and 

butterflies perched on 

the windows and drapes. 

There’s not enough time left 

for anything else but 

beauty and rejoicing so 

kiss me once more and 

please use all sorts of tongue, 

though slow and artfully, 

like a sculptor shaping clay. 

After we’re through, 

we’ll take turns naming 

every pup on this locomotive.

I’ll even let you go first.
