three Amish Girls
Three Amish Girls\n\nthree Amish girls duck\ninto my dark train car\n\nto retrieve their baggage\nthey stowed away in light\n\nI sit-watching-as they fumble \nwithin the pitch for their things \n\nI turn on my meager iPhone 6\u2019s\nflashlight to offer them guidance \n\nthey eagerly thank me for the help\nthen I ask if they like poetry, why yes,\n\nI hand them my colorful card as I tell them\nI\u2019m a poet, their smiles ignite ever brightly \n\njames kenneth blaylock \n11-20-19
