DEPRESSION
Clang!
Night
Cold
An old time trolley
Dimly lit inside
Rocking along
On a long straight silver track
One passenger
Cars
Shops
Sidewalks
Shining wet oily street
Reflected
On a frosted window
Ghostly forms
Other dimensional
Half alive
Sickly yellow smooth (bamboo?) seats
Clang!
This constant rocking
At night speed
Urging
This old time trolley
On a long straight silver track
This yellow boat
Sailing
Going nowhere
the chilled wind from the dark winters night kissed me my last goodnight
Walking,walking,walking was all I could do
Every step I took there was a crunch from the crisp new snow that had fallen.
I decided to sit underneath an old dying oak tree
The cold paralyzed my lungs and froze my bones
The old cold man jack frost took me away
I always had wondered what death would be like
The cold overcame me, and I lost the will to live
It was as peaceful as a hot bubble bath
