                    A Woman Hollering and a Train Passing By

Next to the post office sags a trailer house
Where a fat old woman in a onesie
Was grilling something in her littered yard
Maybe some hot dogs, or just some dogs

A cigarette bounced about on her lip
As she screamed at me for driving by her life
Possibly she thought I was after her beer cans
Or her virtue, or her front-porch couch

A Santa Fe freight blew by, obscuring her words
And I accelerated, escaping her sorrows
