Railway Christo-cophony

under the sound         of whirling     aging   wheels            grudged in only one direction          i
stand perplexed at the force of the rails      entrenched to the deep    that upon their    return
perhaps once        (( or thrice ))     rolled over those made to be finished       if even      my
living doesn’t fit within cars  crushed on the freight  how can we pretend to grant          Grace a ticket

? ?         ?                                ?????
