Tracks

Infinity and beyond

John Clare Stokes


What is it with me and train tracks?

I cannot cross one without the

strong urge to stop and just stare

way down until the two rails converge

I love seeing in the distance

what is crossing

the leap of the pulse to see

the beam of the distant train

approaching

There is a metaphor in there

somewhere

A lesson in eternity

But for now I better move on

The cars behind me are

not too attuned to

Infinity
