THE GOINGS AND THE COMINGS!
The one giant snake,
That gracefully meanders,
That gleefully soars past
Through the hills, past the trees.
That huge snake, the lengthy one
Whose hissings a goodbye; whose hissings a welcome,
Whose belly gulps down hundreds of persons
Comfortably crawling through the woods
Cruising across the plains, along the valleys.
In real time spitting them at the other end
Just like a pig giving birth to several young ones,
Young ones that give rise to an immense throng,
A school of travellers, just like a bunch of new borns
All caught up in a puzzle, puzzle to a new vicinity,
The amazements of new environment
The rare merriment of a new arrivals
The traversings, the crossings, the musings,
A train's long meanderings, a train's strong wanderings,
The goings and the comings and the good tidings!
