Railway Journeys

I had no ways,
But rail way,
A safe way always,
To reach out in hope.
On the way no peep,peep,
Long tracks like racks,
Ironed,strong never unite,
Steamed power,
Journey hours and hour,
Stations to station to stop,
A round ring tablet to drop,
Stations to station name boards,
Where I learned like school black boards,
Stations to station in search,
Up to where last to reach,
Windows a hell,
Sending bits of black coal,
Hat a must,
A coat to adjust,
Facials came to wash-
The coal wash,
To get in as a man,
To get out as a devil,
The then coal aroma,
Still resides in my nose home!
