The Train That Never Comes

Every morning, very early,

Amiano waits at the train station,

He waits for a train that never comes.

Amiano knows this but does not care,

Instead, he fidgets at his phone,

and posts angst-ridden posts online,

The train derailed along time ago,

Amiano knows this but does not care

He wants to, but dares not,

because that is how he has always reached his destination

He has more than a decade of experience

and still plays the same old songs at the train station,

Amiano knows it is a fool’s game

He does not care, because it is a game he has mastered

He loves to think that the world is unfair,

that it is against people with well-intentioned dreams,

So he waits for his train,

where non dares venture
