Arrival
by Erik Estabrook

I borded the dusty, old-time, connector train
things looked and felt the usual
I arrived through bumpy, out of your seat
ride all in the nick of time

I chose to shine my love
down the chalky sidewalks
and side markets
through the decay
only you weren't there
not a single call

I guess reception here is poor
I scuddled out before time folded over me as well.
