Head for the water
If you have questions
Keep the dead in mind
Our railway car
Was filled with babies
Mothers and babies
They all had questions
The conductor—
A Greek version
Of Alfred Hitchcock—
Had questions
When I was a child in Finland
I had an imaginary friend
Who rode beside me
On streetcars
When it was time to get off the train
I’d gently wake him
Even a soul submerged in sleep
is hard at work and helps
make something of the world
