how many employees on a night train hauling only freight
fiction
edward w pritchard
4:35 AM
a night train hauling only freight
heads south east from Cleveland
headed to Pittsburgh
every night the low whistle
stirs up the ducks along Long Lake
who squawk for a minute in protest
but the driver doesn't hear
watching Jupiter as usual in the southern sky
wishing he had someone to talk with about planets, stars and galaxies
