_A Footnote on __Waiting_

Dusk it was;
 dusk at the far end of a nondescript town, a place where partings 
are planned under a deciduous tree with unreadable names and symbols engraved on
its timeless body.

An old presence with wrinkles
 on his body and scales of time on his walking stick
was lost in an unnameable elsewhere. Was he looking in the direction of the leafless
tree that sheltered the long-damaged body of the train – a time-rusted relic, since
that day?

I too was waiting for a train;

I have been.
