I'd been awake far too long,
but I hopped a train
and went for a ride.
Making all the stops along the way:
A silly game of sports ball
played on a big, glowing screen;
An outstretched hand
offered me a hand up the hill;
A friend waxed poetic about the comedic genius
of It's Always Sunny In Philadelphia;
Another needed a hug
more than anything;
Finally, the engine slowed down
and the final stop approached.
As the brakes squealed
against the rails,
An embrace and a kiss on the cheek
as if to say, "You are where you belong,"
caught me like a net from the sky,
and there I hung my hat.
