Sirens Scream. Trains WhistleA Poem by Earl SchumackerPsychological travels, death, life, vehiclesSirens 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
