The Commuter Rail Sonnet
Posted by heretic on November 16, 2008
Wake up everyday before the day dawns
Ride like the wind just to make it on time
Only it’s not some hellcat that I get to ride
It is a filthy green slug trailing on slime
For it’s a long way to where I have to be
My private little prison where I punch in
A diesel goliath I board to take me in
To deliver me to the corporate machine
It is a long, lonely ride and would be painful
If not for two things I have to keep me cool
The first- Led Zeppelin- on my ears to soothe
The other, sweet woman, are thoughts of you
