A villanelle poem about the passengers of a train and a passenger’s observations.

Do you ever watch travelers on trains?
Where they are going or coming from
What have they lost or are hoping to gain?
Sometimes I wish they’d entertain
Instead of reading their newspaper
Do you ever watch travelers on trains?
Some commute to work, others to Sox games
Some have their laptops or talk to friends
What have they lost or are hoping to gain?
Most of the travelers seem quite tame
Others have work loads that are insane
Do you ever watch travelers on trains?
I’ve seen some play card games
Cards sliding as the train jerks away
What have they lost or are hoping to gain?
With too much stress on their brains
Some cat nap to help themselves relax
Do you ever watch travelers on trains?
What have they lost, or are hoping to gain?
