this poem is painfully autobiographical its theme is like unto the theme of "CNR 6213' and "The Hole" --- 30 ---

... i have been there in dreams, and in waking where the trains so stretch horizon to horizon. change & opportunity await such a dreamer, if one has the will to meet the challenge; however, if they are only a shadow of temptation, then you are dead on with this one. delicious food for thought!
