The Tracks
The Tracks
The rails are cold
Jagged grey rocks
Old wooden ties
Cinderblock wall
Paint chipping
Fields of dry grass
Under a shrub,
Strewn trash
A recycling plant is nearby
Bits of trash blow around
Like dandruff
Rusted box cars
Waiting
For a train that will never come
This placed has changed a lot
Yet stayed the same
I don’t know if its better
Or worse
Blight
