Riding on the City of New Orleans
Illinios Central, Monday morning
rail
15 cars and 15 restless riders
3 conductors and 25 sacks of mail
All along a
southbound odyssey
The train pulls out of Kankakee
Rolls along past houses, farms and
fields
Passing trains that have no name
Freight yards full of old black men
The
graveyards of the rusted automobiles
Singing good morning America, how are you?
Saying,
don't you know me I |
