pet idea about versatility-and

wrote this. looking out a car

This is of the little places,
The toWnS that you pass on the
train;
There they are, serene and
lonely like,
Yet comfortable.
And those of the populGce
Who come do1Dn to the depotS
Are fascinated. You see that in
theri eyes.
They are longing, enjoying you,
scanning the long UtStGS
And the tracks that guide the

Gated, are dreaming;
For it has been many gears
since you
Even condescended to think of
such little places
The toUns that you pass on
the train.
