Have you figured out who these souls belong to? It is fine if you haven’t, who they are and what they are is not the supreme significance of my story. These three souls I found waiting patiently at one train station.  

-------------------------
SOUL 1
-------------------------
People crowd the edge.
Lingering, I find a dry space of my own.
Allow me to stand here.
Try not to hurt me.
Feet sweep past my head.
Open my wings to avoid near death.
Run and try not to get wet, I
Must see the world.

-------------------------
SOUL 2
-------------------------
Please no!
Let me go home.
A wish just one wish.
To stop this nonsense.
Free me from this torture.
Only three things I fear:
Raging dogs, the dark, and the dentist.
Mommy please don’t make me go.

-------------------------
SOUL 3
-------------------------
Perfect and right on time. To be
Late to me is arriving five minutes early.
Application filled out correctly,
Tie perfectly in place,
Feelings of confidence.
On my way to success, I
Really hope to
Make my wife proud.
