  • Between Train and Town

    There’s nothing to fear
    said the son of King Lear
    but the mode of being
    sidesteps what’s seen.

    The trains towned being
    the question put to citizenry
    between the time this train
    pulls out and the next.

    To inquire after acquire
    after all who will refuse
    walked in the waste of time
    like a gerund absent his ing.

    This is but a stub
    no answer here
    but yore context
    cud be helpful.

    One forages
    another forges
    both rant and run
    day in night out.

    The question from above
    having to do with what to do
    between trains
    nothing to be done

    but eat drink and be merry
    avoid dairy in your dotage
    save the food for the hungry
    water for the thirsty

    words for the wise work
    for the restless wagon
    for the weary to do
    and see in Petty France.
