I
On the GO, I go, on solitaire
I pressed my ‘presto’ on the reader
I followed folks, walked up the stairs
The third flight-up-view was better
II
The train-ride, such a magical quest.
For this unlearned with aimless zest
And all was just an unknowable jest -
A sheer thrill no one could attest.
III
This child-like state of mind
In tangent with just thrilling grind
As coach begins to roll on tracks
The whole of me, in breathless acts.
IV
From level three of upper seat
The view a far indeed concrete
A wide array of city streets
That zigzagged through a beastly heap.
V
Soon scenes of spruce, birch and pines
Bushes all greens with twisted vines
They move within my comforted mind
Could easily lull in Morpheus bind.
