The Train

It circles the city, looping in endless Ouroboros

The train does not pass through

People ride in unending loops 

How they came to be on this strange train is unknown

They exist here without reason 

There are no signs to say where you are 

No way of knowing if your stop is next

Not until you're at the platform if you miss it, count

Try not to miss it again

The rule: take all you have with you

Some have ridden so long they can't hope to carry their lives

So they sneak, not to steal

To place, a bauble here, a memory there

watch your items

Don't let your life run away with itself

The unspoken rule: you can leave with nothing 

Drop it all and dive

Exit the train not knowing who you are

A Blank Slate 

Take it all, or take nothing 

Else ride forever
