The second of my collections of poems written for "Express It In Eight."

As usual these days, I choose blog format because it offers more space for the work.

All Aboard

We each have our own journey
from swaddling cloth to hospital gurney
constant movement implied in growth
whether frenzied or dictated by sloth.

No one stands still
with time to kill,
the train never stops
for those who would shop.
