Gates Valentine

Keeping the passage open
Between here and the gate
Where a train waits
 
Ain’t waitin’ for no bus
Or lumbers past
Bodies sleeping in the streets
 
Train that is itself a derelict
Speed that is itself narcotic
Love that is itself platonic
 
Train of woes and new equipment
I don’t see you in your tattooed glory
But I hear you saunter past
 
My unencumbered gate
Keep going I can wait
Till the world comes round again
