there’s this poem I must write and
that novel of the station master
built from railway journals
and long forgotten tales told by
On one day each year we
makeover, paint our faces
wear funny hats
and indiscreetly
relax completely

I love the shock of sounds
the sudden ping of steel expanding
the points snapping to attention
Buffalo Lil is preparing for a town council election
by sharpening her claws on a fence post.
She is one mean
green eyed
black cat.

…for this small town
its future citizens
where despite everything
hope springs eternal.

…while the meek gaped
and the brave were
besieged.
