IS IT STILL NOT READY?

–

I spent an hour or two

Working on the “choo-choo”…

Rearranging track

Trying to get back

To what I’d originally thought through.

–

You know–it’s changed over time–

According to reason or rhyme…

Spurs* tend to be

Significantly

And frequently changed over time!

–

I’m going less and less “real”

There’s only so much I can steal…

And fit in my space,

Getting smaller apace,

Or at least that;s how it feels!

–

Like danging participles,**

I must simplify principles…

Nothing sticking off

The edge–for a cough

To push rolling stock away!

–

Within my imaginary scheme,

I wonder, which way is upstream…

The way I’d assume

There isn’t enough room

For the stone woolen mill of my dream?

–

There’s never enough room for everything,

My New England layout I’ve got to “wing”…***

Train switching is fine

If it’s usable some time,

Maybe then…I’ll hear the angels sing!
