LIKE A FAST MOVING TRAIN

No station in sight

)))))))))))))))(((((((((((((((

I’m sitting here contemplating;

Thoughts whiz by but I’m still waiting

For just one thought to cause a spark,

With pen in hand to leave its mark.

I look around to see what’s here;

Something, anything: laughter, fear.

The perfect thing that I might find

To activate my idle mind.
