skip train

on that ledge behind the yellow line
i wait
for the next train to take me
sometimes i even make a run for it
or choose to missed it
what i hate is when it skips
passes right by and ignores me
once
twice
sometimes more
i don't know when
i don't know why
or how long
be patient
it's annoying
but that's his job
the train has to skip
skip skip skip
until it doesn't
until it's ready to take me
so i learned to take the moment
forget everything
and enjoy the short ride,
after the long wait
unfair but i get used to it
just like every ordinary passenger.
