Locomotive [Limerick]

Photograph of a steam engine locomotive taken in Tallinn, Estonia.
The man loved travel by locomotive.
 It was all of the time in the throat of
   tunnels, so dark and deep --
   one couldn't see a peep.
 He had night vision goggles... and motive.

Probably go to the cemetery to read gravestones. I have a reading addiction that would be itching with no books or e-reader. Of course, I would soon be arrested for sitting on graves in the nude. After being booked for public indecency, they would give me food and lodging… problem solved.

The Naked Dream [Free Verse]

There is a dream
in which one is naked.

But no one is looking at you,...
yet

And that is so much worse;
the anticipation of being gawked at 
is more disconcerting 
than being gawked at.

And, yet, one can't bring oneself 
to shout,
attracting onlookers, 
so as to end the misery of anticipation.

One can only sit with one's naked
expectations --
wading in anxiety.
