A place I've been to before
and one I must go again
the Fairfield Connecticut
of my youth in dreams
the scene
plate glass window
Blinn's Toystore
framed in red
Christmas time
a model train
traveling through tunnels
toward Christmas lights
up hills and down again
to the station
pick up cargo and off it goes
again
cheerful and tireless
in its work
naive simplistic
a dreamer
maybe all
but all I've got
I will survive
