Nameless towns along the railroad
full of nameless souls
Existing to me only in my prose
they flick past my vision gone
before a thought can fully form
Two birds in a field flutter and flit
playing a game of "tag - you're it"
Streams full of energy
rushing to where they know they're meant to be
Abandoned railroad ties
their destinies never realized
Trees stand forlornly
hoping that "someone will notice me"
Occasionally we pass a car
it's Sunday so traffic is sparse
Between the towns - endless cultivation
greenhouses and fields full of vegetation
And yes - a festival being set up
for Koreans love to gather together
to play and drink and sup
And another sight abounds -
unique Korean cemeteries where the
dead are buried in mounds
Every valley has a structure or a path
Koreans love to get outdoors
to hike, picnic and plant
These words of mine
will never be read by anyone butvme -
still I write them, joyfully
