Greetings Mat, Your poem evoked 'The Great Railway Bazaar' by Paul Theroux for me, chronicling his grand trek from Europe to Asia on the Orient express, Trans-Siberian Railway, etc. I remember the Indian and Burma segments as some of the best narrative. As for critique, I am not certain that the rhyme benefits the piece. Nonetheless, some form of rhyme along with the appropriate meter could mimic the regular pattern of a train traversing track. I liked the humor herein. I almost spit my tea on that cavernous cunt line! Normally, I would suggest the belly of a blue whale or the gut of a dragon, but neither has that impact or image! Rectum of a Rhino? Nah... Cheers/Chris
My new watercolor: 'Nightmare After Christmas'/Chris
