From Picture to Page: Last Ride

Took the picture while on the train to home last Wednesday.

Last Ride

Waiting
thankful
that all things
end.

Empty
enough for
last ride
slow death day.

Conductor
forgets ticket
gives you chance
to go home.

Too old
too among
everyone
to be alone.

Reckoning
will come
clockwork
with cousins.

Kiss your
carefree
goodbye
under roof.

Judgment
passed around
in place of
holiday raffle.

Good good boy
over and over
man left back
on the train.

Too old
far too old
to yearn for
year's end.
