The doors to the train car close and the train continues on its regular schedule.  The three souls settle in their own private areas of the train car. All of a sudden the train comes to a stop.

-------------------------
SOUL 1
-------------------------
Trapped in just one try,
I
notice my emotion swings.
Wings
spread and flap about,
out.
I try to escape.
Cape
of good hope concede.
See
My right to be.
Referee free
me let me be free.

-------------------------
SOUL 2
-------------------------
No movement, no slidding, or skidding.
Kidding?
Not nearly. Why? One query,
eerie?
I made it happen. I just concentrate.
Trait,
I have one great superpower,
power!
So nice and sweet
eat
all of the candy I can
here and now where I am,
that is my plan

-------------------------
SOUL 3
-------------------------
I would have no fortune if it weren’t for misfortune.
Urchin
of bad luck haunts my every movement.
Meant
to ruin every plan I make. Crinkle,
wrinkle,
my every dream. I am upset.
Set
Out to achieve in a tie and shirt,
hurt
and I ache to reach only one desire.
One point and goal entirely
I give up now, I tire.
