Sirens Scream Trains Whistle


Sirens call to follow

Awaken midnight

Walls of sound burst at the seams

Scream loud on the traffic scene

Clogged arteries of streets open wide

An ambulance passes by

Drivers hide in alleys in vehicles

Stuck with others unpleasantly


Carried in the back are people


Airwaves broadcast emergency!

At a crosswalk struck by a car

The dearly departed part

No matter what the signal says

Reds, yellowed by the sight of trouble

Turn green at every intersection blinked


Torn apart, alarmed by men in white

A spirit lifts from a body lightly

Drifts into a box enhanced by silence

Souls have nowhere to go but home


Trains clatter on distant tracks in fog

Through mountain tunnels with lust

Intermittent whistles signal than fade

Through smoke stacks to penetrate

Waiting for Freud to say something


Sometimes a tunnel is just a tunnel

A light at the end of which spells trouble
