Thorndike, traffic jammed before the train station.
I park on grass down the line
hope the engine sans heat plate doesn’t ignite a fire
one train pulls out just before I can buy my ticket
but sunny, definitely – a 25-minute delay
Old Swedish dining car
meaning prime cutting-edge 1950s
cardinal tattoos on somebody
what faint blue mountains were in the distance
before the 220 turnoff?
return trip train car sinks on one side
before leaving the festival stop
worrisome, slows the run back to terminal
its sharp curves especially front car’s detached before final run
to fairgrounds and back
