This Cellophane Scene R.J.S.

There is something about this scene
 reminds me of a train whistle
 splitting oil gray nights
 of summer 
 in a town
 maps have omitted.
 The tracks bow and flex 
 at the weight added to their own
 cars swaying back and forth
 empty, unnamed.

Pushing ever forward
 colliding with the air
 in front of them
 the clacking in time
 like a headboard banging
 in some rented room
 forgotten like we forget
 the intrusion
 once the gates have lifted
 releasing us
 alone
