train westward

So slow
Pittsburgh at night

Like an abandonedcircus lighted up
For nobody. Win a stuffed bear.

So drowsy
small Ohio towns

The tracks do not stop here
Wedo.

And Chicago
No people here

Traffic and unfriendly buildings
Nobody speaks. May I check your tickets?

Quite wet
and wide the Mississippi

Has flooded Jackson's Island
A raft would do.

Sedimentary rocks
Germanfeudal ruins

Bluffs on our side and towns
Prarie du Chien, La Crosse, the Germans are in France again.

Vista dome
better sleeping here

Under the stars to greet
The silent badlands in the morning early.

Tumbleweed rolling
No people here

Train tracks and highways with
No speed limits.
