being stationary


Still

I am not moving.
I am as a train in a station...
A grand monster in waiting to
Take off down a track railing

On time on time...hearing

Some station master with
A whistle claiming he will be
Mine all mine and gone
Tooting.

I am delayed on my tracks
Huffing all about me as I
Anticipate the points
Forever rocking left and right.
Going from A to B
Underneath this panopaly
Of stillness with silence singing out.

Still.

But still trying to enter the tunnel even though the exit is frozen solid....Electric gives way to traditional steam chuffers every time...Cant beat an old coal fire...B****r the green lobby and all who sail in her.Still...be calm.

Relativity as applied to stationary! Like a mailstrike applied to an Xmas card.....
This one is fun. ^The double entendres , written and implied have woken me up!
Thank you Linda :-)
Happy Holidays,
Nick
