The Mad Conductor

That time I woke up on the train
The passengers were just piles of gore
I get out & don’t recognize where I am
Empty – I yell out – nothing
The doors locked, then
An announcement
Next train arriving
It doesn’t slow down, it speeds up
Smashes into the corpse filled car
The doors open & bodies spill out
All the trains are due at the same time
I see lights coming from the next train
In the drivers seat, a glimpse of the conductor
His torn into a smile, his clothes rags
Trains approach from every side
All driven by the same mad conductor
