I say to myself, “Self, you will NOT post another Tyler Knott Gregson poem on this blog!”, and then he goes and writes this….

Typewriter Series No. 537

Some days in this life, you are the tracks that lead off to some mysterious and wonderful distance. Some days, you are the train, strong and filled with purpose and fire and the promise of a destination. Some days, my friends, you will be the coins and on those days, when the weight of the world is about to run you over ad the tracks feel like they are frozen and silent, just remember…soon, someone will run to the tracks, ignore the distance they lead to, forget the sound of the train that passed, and search frantically for your transformed self, shinning and smooth.

They will pick you up, they will hold you forever, and when age catches up to them, it wont be the train or the tracks they will remember, it will be you, the coin.

-Tyler Knott Gregson
