almost to Baltimore

i fall asleep
on the train,
we're in between stops,
between
Philadelphia
and Aberdeen.
in my sleep
i dream that i'm on a train.
a slow
moving train.
a crowded train.
baggage over head
and between my legs.
my head leans
to the side as the car
shifts
on the tracks, then
back again.
i'm cold.
i'm weary.
i can't wait to get home.
and when i awaken,
it's dark outside and
we're almost
to Baltimore.
