(video too) Coincidence & interest II

When I moved back
from CO, my train stop
was in Memphis, TN___, but
I woke up just before
dawn & we were stopped
45 minutes away
from the train station, &
the crew wouldn’t say
why we couldn’t move yet.

Once reaching the station
there were police
& medics everywhere___;
my family
greeted me w/ hugs, &
my dad asked
what they told us
about the delay___; as it
had turned out, a man had
laid across the tracks
& let the train take
his life away___.

An event I can’t forget___.



(This is my footage leaving CO on way to IL, but not the same train that is mentioned in the poem)
