Oh Christ! The Train's a Comin'


       The rash upon my wrist
                       awaits the railroad track
                                      Nail
                             to penetrate my flesh
                                                 and
                                                       hang.

       The cabooseman rubs his white gloves together
                         waiting to pass the railroad
                                    Mail Station
                                 and catch the white bag
                                                          that
                                                                 hangs.

        And onward the Train travels through
                           the tunnel of Hell
                               and then up the railroad tracks
                                              to the Heavens where stars
                                                                                    hang
                                                                                         like lightbulbs.
