“There’s a slow train a comin'”

suspending bridge to

off-track Motocross style,

it’s an instinctive way to see America

–unless you want to photo bomb a Stephen King flick–

commuters remain

soot-less & flange-free

and sounder than a missed Amtrak

no bar car, tho

since a derailed train can duck Cinder Dicks, all the same

override Dead Men’s Switch

& blow through diamond XX

summiting

elevations

Atlas shrugged off

it knows it can, that lil engine

boring stone

wall

with steam.
