URGE ON


Today on the train

Her energy a different buzz

The face in the window

Too somber to belong to anyone

A new mission unfolds, the urge of another day

Burns along the eastern skies


Today on the train

There is more business in the purse

Than meets the eye

The eye of a child in middle aged face

On a train heading West to new rejections

Letters will be written, unshed tears to fight

The unfinished urges on


Today on the train

In a suit of many disguises

Party in the night professional by day

Black sheep wool feels like her own skin

When you are a widow of each yesterday

Its important to dress the part


Today on the train

She conjured the obscured spiritual inside layer

Humming metaphysical awkwardness

A resilient membrane located conveniently

Between her optimism & troublemaker urge

A stratum of hope buried deep

That aids the digestion of letters of rejection


Today on the train

Wishes are cast under dingy gray skies

Angels with microscopes

Spend all-nighters searching for her soul

She's certain the sun is gone forever

The environment matches her heart

Smiles because it seems fitting


Today on the train

She is the forward flow of locomotion

Especially each bumpy stop

What will be, hides from the eyes

Nose pressed against the cold rainy window.

God's finger is up his ass today

Digging for another challenge to toss her way


Today on the train

She wishes she could

Pull an answer from the bell cord above her

In one fluid motion she could stop the train

And simultaneously see the big universal plan unravel

But she’s stuck in one line of business

The business of urging on.
