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

unbolt me 
I think this is a wonderfully imaginative poem. Having said that, I believe it can be enhanced by trimming a few words from the first stanza. In my opinion “kind of” doesn’t add anything and “growing on veggie patches” is over explaining.

This reminds me of a horror movie starring Rory Calhoun. I like your story much more.

Crazy what the eye and imagination can see. This sounds like ‘Murder On The Orient Express’ filtered through ‘Tea With Tarantino.’
