My t-shirt is the train 

Mattie Grace Levy Uncategorized

Dripping with cold sweat under a winter coat

 

My laptop is the train

Ticking, lifeless, from sticky fingers 

 

My scarf is the train

Saving the seat next to me from butt sweat 

 

My suitcase is the train 

Searching for closure in a jostled enclosure 

 

My hair is the train 

Musty against my face to keep me warm

 

The train, such a stain to bring me home

I'm a black woman, a classically trained oboist, a self-taught composer, and an introspective poet trying to comprehend my thoughts.
