living nightmare

my waking from slumber was too sudden

also, announcing others, my companions
in journey, about the entrance of our train
at the destination, with effects to un-board

before the carriage is shunted to the yard

to be locked for hours, may be for days
before becoming a carrier of another herd
in ride to a distant land, a different moment   

but it was nightmarish to unclutter dream

filled minds, purposeless lives, lumped
in the baggage of laziness with scattered
shoes and stocks of habitual procrastination
