son and i build a train layout
of wooden tracks on the
living room carpet
and for an hour i play with him
just like i promised
all the trains run on time
and everyone likes their job
even at the steam works
that night when i go home
i dream of small wooden trains
i am a wooden man on one
painted bright blue and on schedule
as the giants above me smile
