The Station



It was written on your forehead, “Here lies a humble, obedient servant.”
You marched to the beat of a funeral procession, entering the hearse that would bring you home.

Before me were hundreds more like you.  In unison, you walked to the beat of a drum.
Your expensive leather shoes creaking against the ground.  A melodramatic percussion.  A melancholic sound.

You’ll lay six feet under your work, until you yell “Track 5” with the masses,
and know you are going home.
