RR Rails




I was at the commuter station of the light rail system for Dallas.
I looked down and noticed those long steel rails
They were rust colored on the sides and shiny on the top where they were worn.
I had just traveled fast for many miles along with others thanks to them.
The rail road rails are firmly attached to one another and to the track.

Clever engineers had planned the technical parts of my commute.
Diligent contractors had followed the detailed blueprints.
Lots of managers, administrators, operators and others kept the system going.
I arrived at the birthday party on time due to these factors.

Those rail road rails are just humble slabs of metal.
But still they are silent servants that help citizens move around day and night.


I see you there silent servants.
