TRAINS MAKE LOVE

Lying in bed
My apartment next to the tracks
Listening to the trains make love
BAM! CRASH!
SCREEE! KABOOM!
They are not subtle about it
Though it is always in the dark
Behind a fence
Maybe they think I can't hear them
Maybe they can't help themselves

Oh, to be a freewheeling train
Slamming together in the dark
With some gaudy box car
Or elegant tanker
Bam! Crash! But less metallic
And without the screeching brakes
