A Poem With No Name

By sole

Delectable and infantile
Railroad tracks
For miles and miles
In different styles
For miles and miles
All the while
And all the smiles.

Upside down
Reveals a frown.
Railroad tracks
Above the ground
Running to town
While shunning a town
Its all becoming upside down.

Railroad tracks
Are just stacks
of splinters and thumb tacs
Like acts in a play
But not really
Because splinters, tacs,
Railroad tracks,
Plays, smiles and miles
Have no say.
Not today anyway.

Maybe a little later
I'll cater to your mind
Perhaps hire a waiter
And douse you with kind
Words of affection
Or defection depending
On my mood
Ensued in handwritten form
Conforming to a norm
To pacify a select few
And bathe in the smiles,
Oh yes, the smiles.
But for now just a thought.
And a thought for miles and miles.

*edited: truncated to add emphasis to the overall point that is not delivered. If that makes sense.
