Track Sitter

Track sitting Sitting on the railway track, But the train has come and gone. Blind with pain of my sore back, Sitting on the railway track, Feeling taut but maybe slack, Hurtful feelings now begone, Sitting on the railway track, But the train has come and gone. Don Johnson 5-aug-11

Reminds me of the Warren Zevon song, "Poor, Poor Pityful Me." The trains no longer ran on that track. Imaginative interpretation of the picture, Don! Good luck in the contest. Robert.
