She had planned across to travel across Amerika <\/p>\n\n\n\n
But then she became ill<\/p>\n\n\n\n
When she was hit by a truck on a railroad crossing <\/p>\n\n\n\n
It was either the truck or the train <\/p>\n\n\n\n
The train won <\/p>\n\n\n\n
She survived <\/p>\n\n\n\n
With a broken leg and three broken fingers <\/p>\n\n\n\n
A doctor devoted to God <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Fixed her as much as she could <\/p>\n\n\n\n
(Thank You Lara you are a rare angel)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Ingridvagabonde could see Amerika from her sick room <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Which was near the railroad tracks <\/p>\n\n\n\n
She counted the freight trains instead of weeping <\/p>\n\n\n\n
And hunted the nuclear spiders in the yard <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Lara’s sister owned a hardware shop <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Which sold all things useful or not <\/p>\n\n\n\n
She treated her sister with awe <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Lara was the intelligent one <\/p>\n\n\n\n
I was the practical one <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Their father had died suddenly <\/p>\n\n\n\n
When the barrel of the gun <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Which he had placed in his mouth <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Exploded <\/p>\n\n\n\n
The storeroom still exhibits its history <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Ingridvagabonde often sat in this room <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Considering the tragedy <\/p>\n\n\n\n
You were a self made man <\/p>\n\n\n\n
With two beautiful daughters <\/p>\n\n\n\n
One was practical <\/p>\n\n\n\n
The other was intelligent <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Why did you do it <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Tell the girl who was hit by a train <\/p>\n\n\n\n
She will understand <\/p>\n\n\n\n
She will not leave you <\/p>\n\n\n\n
She cannot leave you <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Amerika is on hold <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Ingridvagabonde wanted to see your country <\/p>\n\n\n\n
She sees your country <\/p>\n\n\n\n
As she limps across the railroad tracks <\/p>\n\n\n\n
It is very painful <\/p>\n\n\n\n
The desert heat also makes her feel drowsy <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Or is it the painkillers <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Or is Ingrid dreaming again <\/p>\n\n\n\n
It is unlikely she will leave any time soon <\/p>\n\n\n\n
She has seen Amerika close up <\/p>\n\n\n\n
It has been very kind to her <\/p>\n\n\n\n
That is why she changed her name <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
