Crash and Burn
An air of hopeful expectation
fills this enclosed space,
sparks fly from the rails,
brakes begin to squeal,
the string of destruction commences.
Hopes incinerate
with the clashing of unstoppable forces.
Angry explosions of fire erupt,
uncontrolled motion's result.
Windows shatter.
Paint curls from the walls.
The symphony of blaring horns reaches its crescendo.
In the aftermath of this train wreck
cries of the injured are heard
begging for it all to end.
Then the door to their pain finally closes,
and silence triumphs over all.
