May 2025 Collage Poem: Recent Encounters

entry picture

In the toxic basement locked a querulous dog

tethered to a bench speaks out

 

Grumbling robots put washing up

liquid in Grandpa’s pipe as the

trains come & the trains go

 

The space between the stars

 

I failed my Latin exam in the high dusty hall

the guy next to me kept asking

How soon is now? and What difference does it make?

I watched the trains come, I watched the trains go

The sorry coffee shirt says I can’t

See you now as the trains come then go away again

 

Frivolous book collectors on the toxic first

floor sharing their words no longer used

They Come Then Go

Travelling to somewhere
Lines to follow
Tracks to connect
Train of thought
Arrives to complete.
