Driving in my car Beep! (crash)
I drive.
Ahead of me, a railroad crossing.
The giant rods bow their heads,
And red eyes flash.
Oh, I get to count the trains,
Like I did as a
Child.
Onetwothreefourfivesixseveneight.
Eight train cars.
How utterly unsatisfying.
The rods come back up,
And, us cars, we drive away,
Like nothing ever happened,
Like nothing ever mattered.
