is this our stop I asked on the train of misgivings
when the train came to a halt
but no one answered
as if it were a dream
where they never answer you
they just turn into something else
leaving no trace.
and I hadn't brought a suitcase.
do you- in dreams?
what would you pack?
a paperback or two?
what good would it do
when you wouldn't remember
them the next day or when
the alarm went off.
not even the titles.
I'm back on the train now
in another car and the
people stare stone dead ahead
and I know
it's no use talking to them now
when I'm the only one here
alive
