I'm nervous because the train's on time
Generally it's slightly late
And that early morning cosmic rush
Gets my day going rightly
Kickstart payoff for some fully clothed
Exercise of my bothersome heart
And argumentative circulation
(Don't even get me started on my brain)
But this morning
It's on time
No random halt
No chattering guards
No disabled ramp that won't quite fit
No unsuitable leaves
And I am concerned that karma
Will leave me stranded with
Some loathsome struggle that
Will leave me wishing I was
On the train
Going home
Running late
Out of breath
Anything
Alive with irritation and a fast beating pulse is still
Better than slowly choking to death
