The Little Train that Used to Could

Behold with what companions I rode the rails

Mile-long link of boxcars with names along the side
coopered and filled with love and contradictions
and tanker cars of jet fuel we thought would last forever

One by one they shunted off to that no-exit siding
and with every car that’s gone and gone
Jesus in the caboose getting closer to the engine
