life: acoustic & amplified

called beyond the tracks

You imagine you’re a train
making your way along your tracks
and maybe you want to plunge faster,
get farther, extend those narrowing tracks
into the vanishing point—
or maybe jump that track for another,
maybe somehow lay a track of genius
in a new direction—

but

what if you’re not a train?

What if you’re a sound,
as a song or of a bell,
or a voice saying “I love you,”
and your journey is to expand
in every direction
into this strange, waiting world?
