Train Ride
the smell of heavy sulfur
permeated through the train station’s platform
it rises like grey smoke
from my Daddy’s hand carved pipe
soaked in a color
reminiscent to ebony splendor
i don’t belong here
but i’m here
open eyes lock onto me
like i have a gift for them
but silence is received
they hate the exchange
and return it to sender
with charged words
that i block out with my ear phones
but i can tune out the world
when Paternity Court comes on…
7 stops are only a train ride away
when my episode comes on…
