mystery train
you tell me I can sail
on the Marie Celeste
along the Milky Way
and scrawl my poems
on Orion’s Belt
if I just believe
in you
you tell me I can ride
on the mystery train
through the icy rings of Saturn
or sing my songs
on Martian heights
if I just believe
in you
but I don’t hear you
any more
though you’re still persuading me
I know
I don’t believe
in your soft warm tongue
or your words
from long ago
and most of all
my love my life
I don’t believe
in you
