Tōkaidō-sensitized

Man went crackers on the train.
I was there when it happened.
He was holding a briefcase and umbrella.

At Kawasaki the ‘jins rushed in.
His arms got pinched in two directions.
His hands bent backwards,
his face flushed red, then blue.
He asked if someone, anyone, would move.
No one did.
No one could.

I was too far, barely watching;
I didn’t want to look,
I couldn’t bear to look.
But I swear I would have moved for him.
He cried out for someone, anyone, to move.
No one did.
No one could.
Or would.

And that’s when it happened.
I was there when it happened.
Man went crackers on the train.
