ambushed by an energy salesman

I made my own stop. I made my own end of the line. I made my own terminal. I end here. Someone died here today; the start of their journey, and the end of my own. oil blood urine fluids of mechanic and natural origins. I peddle my wares; I sell my sweat; I am an energy salesman. I ride this rail on rubber, not steel. I do not intend to steer clear but still be clear when the front-end is near. Electric elephants bound to acrobat playgrounds. Painted Tusks as valuable as my soul. I do not meddle with my pedal: joules of life grow more valuable. energy exchanged
