The Freight Trains
in the Desert, seems
like MILES
and MILES
and MILES
Stretched out
through the barren
DESERT
and
L--O--N--G

Just Slow-S--L--O--W--Slow, but SURE
just winding curving
through, the Desert
Humming, Chugging, plugging
cart after cart
S--L--O--W--L--Y
evenly
Rolling-Rolling
R-O-L-L-I-N-G
ALONG


With THREE
ENGINE
CARTS
up
DIRECT
FRONT
TO
PULL-PULL-PULL


And one single
CABOoooooSE
in the
End and
REAR
to help 
push-push-push
its
Heavy-Heavy-Heavy
Long miles and miles 
of train carts
TOLL


Slow-SLOW-S--L--O--W
but Surely
the trains
cut right Through
the
Hot-Hot-Hot
Scorching
wide Open
DESERT
Sands


Seems heading WEST
to California
as FINAL
DESTINATION
and
PLAN
