Been there / Trisha Twistdemon

I get myself on the train

like I do every day.

Thousands of times.

I know the benches, windows, and doors.

Yet I can't say for certain

that I've ever rode in this car.

So similar in sound and structure they are.

So I stand here and wonder

if I've been here before

in this spot

or am I unknowingly

exploring someplace new

subjecting my eyes

to familiar visions yet up to now unseen.

It's such a beautiful notion

that a single tear wells.

It would've dropped to the dirty floor

thereby marking my presence

if it wasn't for a single thread of drool

which hangs from my gaping mouth

and hits the floor first.
