Train Yard
in Texas -

Morning shadows;
long and telling.
My Dad works in a similar
junction a hundred miles or so
to the east.
Tear down old trains,
put new ones together.
All day long he drives a van
from one end of the yard
to the other carrying engineers
and conductors.
He is retired but likes the cash,
hard of hearing
but enjoys the stories.
The photo is a little blurry
but it's like family.
