A Shaker Shaken Poem by Ima Ryma

Living in a building next to
Some railroad tracks I did become
Used to the sounds the trains would do
And the building would vibrate some.
One day I noticed a stopped train
Right outside of my window there.
I felt vibrations on the gain
Of the building and was aware
Something real weird was going on.
How could the non-moving train be
Causing shake phenomenon?
For a moment it puzzled me.

Then I did see the stopped train shake,
And realized 'twas an earthquake.
