Fast Train Through Corn Country

You
In the middle
Of a one track mind

You
For whom 
This train is waiting

Me
So corny
My ears are sprouting silk

This really made me smile Maureen. The ears sprouting silk made me think of a popular tv commercial where they are touting the uses of a small razor to get the hair out of your ears. lol I really like this a lot. Thanks bunches for this one. God Bless, JB

Love the formation of your brief poem! So corny somehow balances with sprouting silk. Liked it a lot!

Thanks Kim :) Corn silk is actually a medicinal powerhouse! I cook kidney care diets for a few dogs and have actually cured one dogs' owners' incontinence issues with corn silk tea. A piece of Native wisdom we've almost lost. Chears dear! xomo

This was very creative and a bit humorous but I think my ears have sprouted silk a few times as well.
