Plutonium Train Comin' Through Town At 3A.M.


Vaporized 
       five pounds
              enough to settle into every lung
                      	     of every human
                                   struggling along
                                       the crust
                                           of this unknowing planet

He had to take this job
He'd blankly tell himself
Rolling through the Georgia night
                   watching the stars glowing
                                above the shadowy tracks
           the chickens stinking in Lafayette
          	the wheat fields blown back
                       by his chugging monster engine
                             through Nebraska
          	   the sagebrush shuddering in Utah
                             and
                           Colorado                                                                 
                                bound for Nevada

Something echoed against the side
                of his deadly caravan
As he entered the tunnel
His legs quivered
His mind spasmed
              too fast
AN EXPLOSION REVERBERATED
