Final Destination
Hybrid poem
Published in

All aboard the busy train!
Don’t forget your calendar
your rain coat
your checkbook
and your post-it notes
of all you might need — hurry past the other passengers — no time for eye-contact — there’s a collection of responsibilities — entirely self-imposed — awaiting you at the next station.
Not to fret — we’ve tinted the windows from inside out to blacken all distractions — passing you by…Don’t forget to mind your step— keep holding your breath — while exiting towards your final destination.
