Mean Machine

Mean Machine The locomotive was an old mean machine only used for carrying gods at local stations along boring flatland. Once it had been a young and the President of Portugal rode on it, not only him but many other high up all the way to Lisbon. And now? It wanted to go hiding somewhere dark, but where does one conceal an iron horse? The train passed near the parking lot in Faro I was out with my dog, and there I could let her run free. There was a hole in the fence were the tracks. Naturally, she jumped through. She saw the train that seemed to speed up with murderous intent when she jumped clear it was too late. I had her buried and the following days were long and full of sadness.
