“Oct. 27th 70 to Union Station 07:35” was originally published originally published in the author’s collection of poetry, Whistle Stops.
Salty reason trips across
the mutant landscape
yellow with foliage
our track mother
renders municipal
terminus unremarkable
The next station is
an other galaxy
La prochaine station est
une autre galaxie
where upturned hills
serve as punch bowls
and a ride away
is to slink back
to pre-dynastic vagrancy
one crimped antenna left
to navigate the topsoil
