ON SIDING

"Oh!" cried the freight car, set out on a sldlns,
Here am / shunted for endless abiding.
My paint is in patches, my steel is encrusteo,
I am battered and broken, sag-sded and rusteu,
But though 1 am shaky and smelly and crumpleo'
/ bear you to witness / still ann un-humbled'
81 am a creature of boundless vivacity,
But only am valued for weight and capaclty.
My body is awkward, my features are PLAIN.
But my soul is the soul Of an aeroplane.
Often and often I've cherished the notion
My timbers were meant to be skimming the ocean
Yes, I may seem sedate, but 1 know how 1t feels
To want to roll over and kick up my wheels.
hBut mol I must stick to my two trails of track,
Dragged hither and thither and yonder and back:
With a bump and a bang and a creak and a ratue,
So that i, a born leader, am always a follower.
A. freight incubator, a merchandise swallower,
And all because Fate, on my day of creation,
Made me bearer of burdens, without MOTIVATION.
fThe autos slip by, full of hot air and hauteur,
But ]. handicapped by the lack of a motor,
Stand waiting around till the engine-man bumps me.
And then someone loads me and ships me and dumps me.
I carry no gas and I have no ignition.
But, O, I am filled with a boundless ambition.
Yes, my soul Is attuned to the heavenly spheres
Then 1 answered that ancient and redolent car,
It's really amazing how human you are!
Men learned your capacity; hence they employed 1t:
You did men the service, but never enjoyed it
You sighed to be something, perhaps transcendental;
We called you to work on the Transcontinental!
And now you look back, with despair and deriding,
Instead Of enjoying your sunny old siding"
