Conductress

Train the mind
at Rosenheim 11.30 am

with a clear morning sky
held by power cables

The sighting of dark mountains
comes as a surprise

like the sudden idea
that pleasure is permissible

money expendable
and the conductress too

though severely uniformed
in two-tone blue

likes to play with the softer places
So think harder and yet calmly

about your sins and about the door with
Do not enter on it

To be a first-class man
depends on her approval

and the whole train of thought
moves off between green banks

due only to her whistle
She draws on my thoughts

and tries them out
like shawls from an old hope box
