Railroad Adventure + 

Dusk dark + 

On Railroad Avenue. + 

Lights in the fish joints, + 

Lights in the pool rooms. + 

A box-car some train + 

Has forgotten + 

In the middle of the + 

Block. + 

A player piano, + 

A victrola. + 

942 + 

Was the number. + 

A boy + 

Lounging on a corner. + 

A passing girl + 

With purple powdered skin. + 

Laughter + 

Suddenly + 

Like a taut drum. + 

Laughter + 

Suddenly + 

Neither truth nor lie. + 

Laughter + 

Hardening the dusk dark evening. + 

Laughter + 

Shaking the lights in the fish joints, + 

Rolling white balls in the pool rooms, + 

And leaving untouched the box-car + 

Some train has forgotten. + 
