 Desire has no name 

Circular ties running a freight train
Round and round
    You bought the ticket
        The conductor doesn't smile
As he punches your ticket
    Flames rise up 
Screams are heard
   "Those are the trains brakes."
"But we're in the station. We're not moving."
 No reply 
  The train pulls out.
Into the night of the Sun. 
  "You have no tanning lotion."
Something about a basket.
   You take a seat and take a hit off a fifth of gin.
"Fuck it."
