[bodytext] => Like a fog horn on the Erie And train whistles in the night, The echoes of these lonesome sounds Are magnified by fog’s dim light. But in the solitude I’m sitting in, Pondering what will be my fate, Have I the time to change some hearts, Or has the clock found I’m too late? I pick a single topic And filter it in my mind. But it gets drowned out with others, Like an intoxicating wine. Even in this quietness Is the occasional sound of birds. My thoughts have no pecking order, And are simply jumbled words. Then I put them on a page Just like rolling a pair of dice. And somehow without knowing how The words sometimes turn out nice!
