on a moving train

pictures
without frames
roll out
to the sound
of ground
shifting
on rails
to nowhere,
catching up
to a life
on the move,
as unsettled eyes
close in
to sink into a heart
who knows
she cannot be neutral
on a moving train.

(The words "you cannot be neutral on a moving train" from a quote from the book by that name by Howard Zinn, ripped through me this morning and became the inspiration for this poem)
