[Photo by Big Frank Dickinson, taken in Warsaw train station]Big Frank is going through some of his favorite photographs and posting them here. The next few days will see more of this. Along with the photo there will be a poem; sometimes Big Frank's and sometimes not Big Frank's. Today it's not his, but rather one by Fred Chappell. Big Frank is not so sure how close the photo needs to be to the poem, so he'll just leave it loose or close as the connection reveals itself to be.
LXXI DEPOT
by Fred Chappell
look how the arched roof,
the gypsy girl's mouth
is blowing cigar smoke:
train heading out
and now she pokes it
once more between her lips:
here comes the super express
just as far as you can spit
the last little butt:
goodbye caboose

Now that's a photograph. Nice work. Has the feel of an Edward Hopper.

Thanks for the complements - glad you both like the photo! As you know, Dan, Hopper is my man!
