Deep Blue Afternoon - Noaa Rienecker
Deep blue afternoon
Clear like it only is
After a heavy rain
Behemoth rides its rails
past little boxes made of ticky-tacky
and lumber yards and graffiti
5 o’clock sun
flashes the back of my eyelids yellow
so I squint even asleep
I let it win
and settle into the quiet lumbering
and the silent diorama rushing by.
Too tired to be lost in thought,
nothing to say,
no one to be.
