You were born on the wrong side of the tracks But now we're both on the train ******** about our overpriced hotdogs. They ran out of ketchup. A grandmother three rows down is Screaming obscenities at her grandchildren Because they won't be quiet. Four more hours. But there is no way I can play another Game of cards. I've lost every one. Out my window Miles of poverty become miles of fields In an alternating pattern of bleakness and desolation. The lady across from me Draws her curtain closed.

Trip to Truckee
You were born on the wrong side of the tracks But now we're both on the train ******** about our overpriced hotdogs. They ran out of ketchup. A grandmother three rows down is Screaming obscenities at her grandchildren Because they won't be quiet. Four more hours. But there is no way I can play another Game of cards. I've lost every one. Out my window Miles of poverty become miles of fields In an alternating pattern of bleakness and desolation. The lady across from me Draws her curtain closed.
