the train wreck

it's never
a train full of marshmallows
that goes
off the rails. or
car loads of  pistachio peanuts,
or ice cream,
turning over
on some curve of track.
it's always
chemicals that
ooze and steam
into an orange fog,
that slurp
into the rivers
and streams
making all the animals
grow three
eyes and
lose all the hair on
their backs.
