STRAIN spotting
STRAIN spotting
tearing the underlined pages
from the kama sutra
sidling the steam train
as electric arrives with its
lubricated driveshafts
vibrating off the rails
of a change of track
what is the point
of the red signals
the menu
in the dining car
is awesome
but the plates are cold
euphemisms slither
as the lights flicker
and our steward walks past
with the drinks we ordered
empty glasses
the sparkling water is still still
but never mind the strain
the destination is unchanged
