This Day

This day, I feel the metal rails shiver, hear a distant loco coming, bound upon its fixed route. I move on, enter the scattered brush, no need to turn around to look at those many freight containers rumbling by. This day I'm on a pathless journey, my boxcar is empty, my cargo light. The world crosses over me, moves on.
