About Me

woe unto the bleating tongues of railroad miseries. they shriek in shadows, boring through the rain and hail. the merciless train all the way home. boring down and through my meager spine, i am blinded with dreams of iron and rail. blow through the creeping rungs of twisted ladder fantasy. to the brink of mad delight, warring in the hail and rain. this sad fortune be my lot, my golden pot, what i got. hats off to the helter welter wending madness of Explain.
