Having grown up in and around trains so that their comings, goings and
wrecks were part of life I am simply entranced by the poem and its insight.
I am too pedestrian to critique the art of the poem. But I love the
philospohy which could also be rendered "... if there is a rattlesnake
under the rock, don't move the rock." Festina Lente.
