From A Poet Who Is Exactly 121 Years Old + One Day

________________________________________________________________________________________________

There was a girl in the caboose

She might be
the brakeman's wife

She might be
a tramp

Happy under a spell of
the wider and wider night

A silhouette and outline
...
Something finished
white, polite, unpolished

It was a destiny
scarred a little with
young wars

Worried with
old white faiths


Segmented with re-format
from a story
entitled
Travel Together 

Another quote
from this story is
