The Conductor


How he conducts himself is your
business.

Your choice of who you travel with
from station to station in life.

But when
you take the same train
of the same name
as before-

You end up
where it claimed to take you,
down the same tracks
it did before.

When the conductor yells
"All aboard!"

When the whistle blows.

When the train is departing,
you don't have to go.

You've already been to the end of this line.

You don't have to lie to yourself,
that it will be different this time-
and
in the darkness of the tunnel
whisper to yourself-

"I think I can, I think I can, I think I can."
