The End Of The Line

 This train runs every year

I've boarded at the beginning

jumped on and off from anywhere on the tracks

and caught the caboose

just as the engine came into the station

And some years

I have missed the ride completely

No matter what the speed it takes to arrive on time

there is nothing

like the sound of the horn blown

to announce the end of the line

Period.

Full Stop.
