I love the ambiguity of this — my first thought was of two trains passing each other and falling in love, you know, like ships passing in the night. Then I thought obviously it must be lovers seeing the two trains pass. But both meanings seem to coexist in my mind, and it’s kind of like everything in the world is falling in love with everything else…
or maybe that’s just me. 🙂
As I read this I thought of Paul Simmons’ line about “everybody love the sound of trains of in the distance” (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v_004vY4dPo&feature=related)”..it was always one of my favorites…thanks for this poem.
