coffee and candy bars

the train
is more interesting than
by bus
or car.
the tracks snake
through
the small towns
through
the rubble and despair,
the empty factory
yards.
you see how people
really live.
day by day
getting into a line
somewhere
for sustenance.
so different than
the interstate
with its rest stops
for coffee
and candy bars.
