Poetic Asides April Challenge Day 02 prompt "postcard poem"

Rail Riders


Steel wheels
Sing lullabies
Rock drowsy travellers
Pull away from Penn Station
Cars darken as they pass through
Pre-dawn Manhattan
We are content to mosy
And fool ourselves
Into believing we are
Taking things slower
Hearkening back
To a saner age
We take the train
