Photographed By Jack McCarthy In 1974

Re-photographed  in 2014




In the land 
of white & black
                                        
He fell asleep
on the railroad track
 
                                                                                
Forty seconds later
he awoke:
the whole thing
was a joke
                                                                           
Forty years hence, in a bike lane

He re-shot that moment 
of danger without pain

  1. Improvised and ill-advised,
    alone, could be hit by a drone
    with a goil, my blood would boil.
    Artist cropped, subject dropped.

    1. Oh, Hell
      One could just as well
      be hit by a drone
      while walking alone.

      Jack's girlfriend
      was the cropped "goil."
      40 years hence–
      Your blood need not boil.

  2. It's a matter of one's perspective,
    Both are "rail" effective

  3. I did think that I would not add to comment any longer,
    but You got the "goil"

    1. The "goil"...as seen in the small image...
      is there to better explain
      the bike lane
      reference.
