a freight derailment,
with it's human cost
(where we lack investment)

toxic cloud
those dead fish, dead birds,
acid rain
corroding nearby towns
and the steel city being even less

against mighty, virtually unstoppable
...weather balloons

in bewilderment,

we're lost in the wilderness
when the bigger story
that we actually
went off the tracks
a long, long time ago
was never reported
