Glimpses:

— Changing trains at the Martinez, CA Amtrak station

Snailed paced approaches midnight
at Martinez station
under yellow, dimming light
stuck, lacking evasion.

Waiting precariously grounded
for the ‘Starlight’ to sally forth
(station by eeriness surrounded
to carry us on the way north.

— Shod feet on seat, by fast food replete

Limp lonesome louts languishing
their dirty shoes on seat
of manners not anguishing
by fast food replete.

Munch national brand name fares
rather ‘inedible’.
“Here, enjoy it”, vendors dare
chutzpah incredible!

— Dozing off

In defenseless recollection
mind haplessly reactive.
Stuck in endless loop selection
heart helplessly held captive.
