Yellow Painted Train Station

yellow painted train station,
green tin roof,
baby pink mercantile...

distorted through plate glass,
it seems as though it could
easily be 1930.

smudged eye glasses
perch on the bridge
looking, looking
taking it in

rattle rattle
Union Pacific moving wind,
bringing graffiti
messages from who
knows where

footfalls above
an open drawer
my fingers are
tinkling the keys
of the key board
