Electric Hum Near the mouth of the 110's grand start, Where engines use to hum and journeys part. I stand, reflecting on days now past, In the city's quiet, shadows cast. The road to home lies open, wide, Yet in my chest, a melancholy tide. For the world's not as it used to be, Changed from the life we knew so free. But lo, a figure on modern steed, With masked visage, he does proceed. An electric hum, his silent horn, Crossing paths on this morn, forlorn. This traveler alone impedes my way, A sentinel of this era's fray. In his motion, a sign of times we face, Each at a distance, each in our space.
