I feel different than before
not so angry
restless
or confused
it’s only a spec
on this great canvas
a locomotive
puffing smoke
pulling a string of boxcars
through never-ending rows of corn
I’m moving forward now
not so fast mind you
just slow
steady progress
headed out west
someplace
where it’s warm
