Penumbra

I've got to leave now
Leave this frozen and overcrowded town,
and catch the first train,
not knowing its destination.
I 'm gazing at people
each of them, those lifeless things,
as I travel through the
moody and rainy autumn night.
Metal grates on metal,
the shrilly scream of the
brakes wake me. People get down,
staring at me strangely,
I glare at them
and they hasten out,
I can feel vibrations running through my body
as the machine starts again...
All alone in the car,
the last station is near,
I find it empty,
I'm alone with the night.
