a railway trackside
is planted with cabbage
at dusk it kind of looks like
heads growing on veggie patches
i imagine it’s the business strategy
of the railroad administration
they cultivate new passengers
from the severed parts of train victims
i pull down the shade, turn on the light
a conductor knocks at the door
she asks if i want a cup of tea
yes, please, without sugar

However, the last para could be improved on, may be the railway employee would ask if you’d like some sandwiches with cabbage!

That’s an excellent suggestion, Shaily, and would indeed give the poem some more closure! 😉

Scary. Alas, I would refrain from train travel here on. I can’t get the picture of heads out of my head.
