train music

the old trains.
the real ones. black hulls,
like hearts full
of smoke.
grizzled
men at the wheel,
who've
given up
on many things,
always
looking down
the steel curve of track.
how can one
not fall
in love with someone
on a train.
the music of it all.
impossible,
i declare.
let's try it
and don't come back.
