To Montreal
by Richard L. Provencher

Wheels are a cascading clatter
on rails of steel
coaches sh-shaking
and passengers drifting
through interruptions of rest

on and on they rumble-mumble
a repetitious journey
across miles of pasture
trees clumped in silhouettes.

Conversations stretching
through the corridors
soon an attendant repeating:
"Montrealonly fifteen minutes"
her French accent penetrating
my English background

the train continuing its clamber.

Crossing twilight's barrier
everything is faceless
except the highway
as cars flash-light though darkness.

Richard L. Provencher
