Poetry and Photography: Tired, Tired, Tired
I don’t know how long I will ride?
I’m tired, tired, tired
Jus’ might ride this train to the end of the line
I hope thats not too soon because this rest is mighty fine
I’ll get off at the end and pedal my bike uptown
or
maybe I’ll get on another train and ride this sucka back downtown
maybe I’ll get on another train and ride this sucka back downtown
Either way
I’m tired, tired, tired
And this rest is mighty fine
And this rest is mighty fine
Side note: This man had no idea that he inspired someone to take his picture and write a poem about him today. This proves that we never know who is watching us or who we're an inspiration to.

there are only 2 seats so he's taking up just one. :)Yeah, it looks like the brother was out for the count.
I think that it's the repitition. It makes things sound lyrical. I hope that you liked it.

I took this picture this morning on the train. I saw this guy just lying there and I smiled. Most passengers looked at him with pity or disgust, but I saw art. This is why I keep my lens handy. I looked at the picture, wrote this poem and posted. I didn't know how the poem would sound to readers, but I was okay with it. I'm glad that you like it. :)A collage for this piece sounds nice. I could really dig that.
Haven't visited in a while, I loved your homage to your Amanita, and the photos. Great to see you are all better.
Thank you and welcome back. Yes, I almost laughed when I saw him because he truly looked beat. :)He has no idea that he has inspired poetry today. That goes to show that you never know who you inspire just by the smallest act. I'm going to write that on today's post. See you soon.
Anyways, that is a wonderful poem with the picture. I like the idea of making it into a collage, or a song, or both...
Have a great afternoon/evening!
Very heartwarming, Stephen. Thanks.
yes, bikes are allowed but only near the rear of the train. there is enough room. They are not allowed on the bus, but there is a bike rack on the front. That's nice of you to help out. You are the good Samaritan, huh? :) Thanks always for your compliments. Have a pleasant and relaxing evening.

hello fellow photographer. :)Maybe I would've told him, but he was still sleep when I got off. Yeah, we never know. It's a wonderful thought.
You never really know who is watching....
Thanks for stopping in and welcome! :)

I totally agree and that is why I take this little camera with me almost everywhere.
Hello. I agree. I've come too far to turn back now. :)Thanks!
I could see inner conflict underlying here
always inner conflict. Welcome. :)
That means a lot coming from you. thank you :)
Haa haa! :) I've never been to either. You remind me that I need to travel more. I hope that your time there will still be a pleasant one.
