I had to get away
You didn’t understand
It wasn’t even about you
A train to a city
I’d never been—
It looked strange through the clouds
I could almost make out
The waning horizon—
It sounded odd through
Resistant speakers
So many doing what I do
Am I even competing
This late in the game?
A train out of a city
I wish I’d been—
It yelled clear through the crowds
I could have made it
I could have seen it
But I never did it
