After the jump

I expected crashing emptiness,

Bone crushing release.

Instead, pressed  between the rails,

Noise so loud it raged silently;

Universe reduced to metallic echoes and tremors

Straight shooting tornado,

Streamlined silver city,

Twentieth century relic

Crashing over my body

Despite my best intentions

I’m still alive
