frustration

by Richard Trotter

I cannot grasp
at a wonderful song,
nor can I taste
the red evening sky
and I cannot hear
the sound of yellow flowers,
never preserving a moment
of semi-contentment
inside a wooden box.
I cannot exist
as all of life itself,
and know every shining secret
inhaling infinity.
Instead I am a furious train
without a track.
