[Writing Stuff] Can you see the trains?

Something has changed,
a queer train of rusted carriages
roars past my bedroom window,
where no tracks lie
I search for evidence,
Where do they come from?
Are they real?
If so, why can’t I see them?
if not…
well,
answers are never easy,
unless the question is wearing
the answer’s overcoat after a long
commute through reason
Sure, you may say that
travelling through reason
can be done by tea break,
I can’t drink that much tea
in one sitting,
I tried
My bladder is weak,
It doesn’t change the fact
that the trains are
getting closer
getting louder
One day if luck has its way
I will catch that train
with the dopamine stained seats
and ride!
Ride like I am on a train
that no one else can see
I will be called crazy
a fool swept by dreams
… that’s fine
The tone in my voice may
be filled with sorrow
I’m sorrow about that
But as the noise gets louder
and the ticket wears thin
I hear salvation over the loud speaker
‘DING DONG’
‘this train will be departing
in five minutes please
have your ticket ready’
Hmmm, the train looks full
maybe I will wait for the next one
