Rails

We took the long way back
and now we're off again
heading northward on rails,
up Mora's way
just think of it –
all the stories we'll tell.
Now, I've heard some things
about what happens now and then
as this metal trap rolls up
speeding nonstop
through troll country.
But you, look at you
so serious, keeping your cool
not scared one bit.
Gumption. I like that.
And I like the way
your hair coils at your neck
and I like the way
you step firm and silent
and I like the way
your voice sharpens as you call
over the intercom, announcing
neat and tidy, all business.
I'd like to see what I could do
to all that good order,
leave you a mess
your cheeks flaring red
your hair falling loose
your voice growing hoarse.
Hey, get a load of these straps
ain't they something?
Too bad we'd have an audience.
Now, I won't do anything about this
not one thing, cross my heart
except keep my eyes open
and watch you as you move
meet your eyes as you glance at me.
And maybe in the morning
if I get a chance
we'll trade a word or two or three
and I'll remember your name
and remember your face
and take them both with me.
