"zug" poems - Hello Poetry

It's funny the things that catch our eye. My boarding pass and passport are over checked Student ID, Admission letter four years old, Father's death certificate, My marriage certificate, Endless documents, To prove I'm not a threat. He waltzes through without a blink. No boarding pass checked, No passport in hand, No red flags raised. I'm sure it's illegal, But they don't ask Or maybe they won't. I'm the one they check, The one they search. 3 hours. Are these your suitcases? Unpack the suitcase who packed the suitcase? Each item scanned Where was the suitcase after it was packed? swab, wait, second swab, wait again. third swab, That had better be for good luck. (more attention than the blarney stone) Did anyone give you any gifts to bring? Repack, Rush through check-in. Second security check, Go to line 3. Unpack hand luggage, Laptop, tablet, phone, chargers, data cables Scanned individually, Take off shoes, Walk through metal detector, Three swabs more for good measure, Repack, Rush to gate Already boarding Finally in my seat. He takes 15 minutes. It's funny how his time 8-tuples, When we travel together. I may be his ben zug, I may speak their language without the dreaded Mivtah*, but I still don't belong. It's funny the things that catch our eye.

Ich will der nicht sein der auf deinen Zug wartet der niemals kommt Der, der die Anderen sieht Leute, die sich umarmen auf’m Gleis Die schnell weg vom Bahnhof verschwenden Und da bleib ich noch Ich guck’ ungeduldig an die Anzeigetafel Die leer steht Leer bleibt Und dunkel wird Ich will der nicht sein der allein Heim fährt Nacht ohne Wert Heute Nacht bin ich der Doch ich kann ehrlich sagen Du bist das schönste Ding Das mir vorbeigefahren ist

Fanwisdom gedachting a hearth-billow in my Herz Ich hab' gedacht it fairer still to know Than amongst dein Welt it predisposes is perplexed aloof Extraños kann nicht go where I must go And von und an die spinniest of Hund In peril and with Angsty tougher Hands Will not crepuscular desecration sofort ensue Für nichts ist wichtiger nur ein Liebling mood Versucht wir probs and totes adorbs But still zu schieße tired and hasst to sein Während wir sollen in the proper sense Man oh yeah das Man sagt en vino absorb'd Was wicked waste and After it schmeckt schleck Über ist nicht was es ich verpassen now Most mehr mit Menchen kommt wieso I ask? Wenn wo I know it is so very untoward to cow Kuh oder a coo cannot redeem from drain Zeit and Mal scent rempeln us all or push Klar we cannot stop the starkest Zug Nor yodel holler up the lane for **** And just wenn denkst du, dass eyes is mad Know that for Worten the harshest Lebens macht To get you just to see and versehe sum Unwertens none of us will ever be ich gedacht

imagine you are sick cold alone sitting in a coolish train lonesome thinking of your soulmate somewhere train departs scenery flahing by thoughts flashing by too numb to cry ice-cold nausea smile on the lips eyes closed searching for rest music on your song playing promising solace pulls and drags on my inside intense consuming i'm holding on tight too numb to cry searching for rest smile on the lips don't want a song but a warm embrace too far away too far away and distant scenery passing by thoughts passing by inside passing by too fast too agitated not tangible elusive too numb to cry ice-cold nausea smile on the lips far away (original: ) stell dir vor du bist krank kalt alleine sitzt in einem unterkühlten zug einsam denkst an dein seelengeschwisterkind irgendwo zug fährt los vorbeisausende landschaften vorbeisausende gedanken zu taub zum weinen eiskalte übelkeit lächeln auf den lippen augen geschlossen ruhe suchend musik an lied von dir trost verheißend zieht und zerrt in mir heftig verzehrend klammere mich fest zu taub zum weinen ruhe suchend lächeln auf den lippen will kein lied sondern eine warme umarmung zu weit weg zu weit weg und fern vorbeisausende landschaften vorbeisausende gedanken vorbeisausendes inneres zu schnell zu bewegt nicht greifbar flüchtig zu taub zum weinen eiskalte übelkeit lächeln auf den lippen weit weg

Greenfield Village Henry Ford looms large The length of River Rouge Lower and Middle and Upper and Rouge River proper Abraded by scars Mouth cankered and scowling Zug Island wrenched To a permanent sneer behind The kid gloved hand of his beloved Fairlane Wandering Potemkin near the end Head an empty lot webbed In figure eights of snowy plaque. We walked down the lane From Firestone Farm Past stubble field Late one winter afternoon Searching for the rope swing In the old chestnut tree Ordered hung there perhaps By the old man himself. I raced twilight Edges dissolving Sent you higher and higher Prayed you would catch a glimpse Of abiding light that silvers The edge the world.
