Railroad Horns & Old Neighborhoods _ New Poetry November 4, 2025



Railroad Horns & Old Neighborhoods 


Thinking of the past 

When bunches of friends 

Were clusters of stars ✨ 

Burning 🔥 day and night 

In coffee ☕️ houses and cafes 

Old houses 🏘️ and studios 

Rehearsal spaces and stages 

Shows and crowds smoking 


Looking back I was a hack 

An idea 💡 man with a hook 

With my groove in the heart 💜 

I was genuinely authentic 

And that might be a song 🎧 


Trains from ConRail Yards into 

NYC, Detroit and Chicago roll

2:44 a.m. hearing their horns 

That's my song 🎶 for you 


Railroad Horns & Old Neighborhoods

Good wishes,
