Twilight Express

I'd like to learn you. 
Know the pills you take. 
Take the same train

As you do, every night 
'Cross the city and its somnolent streets.
As you tap-tap 

Over the steps of
Twilight Express—
Herding cats on mass transportation

From one district 
To another, I'd wave goodbye, 
Sometimes. Or

Hop up the steps 
With you, with a silly grin, 
Taking the same route. 
Learning the same dream.
