I know there has been at least one train, many ferryboats (I live in Seattle) and several airplanes. Maybe I should slip a cigarette into my next poem? I love the idea of borrowing other people's obsessions.

My new obsession is public transportation. There seems to be a bus or a train in every new poem I write.Sarahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00357902086583000382noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4294176875047610623.post-14547933848653304622009-12-22T00:54:07.223-08:002009-12-22T00:54:07.223-08:00Hi Mari,

I may have one poem where food figures into it, but only in part... We all have our obsessions. We're poets, after all!Marihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05211528951336098923noreply@blogger.com
