Locomotive Lines Poem by RoseAnn V. Shawiak

Bouncing rhythms being sung by an elderly woman,
speeding up faster and faster, keeping up with
beats pounding on my brain.

Recollecting circumstances of yesterday's music,
always remembering every note, pleasing many
people with harmonic melodies.

Pursuant facets, running down lines like railroad
tracks underneath a locomotive.

Whistling along the ground, letting everyone know
it's coming and they better look out.
