Ridin' the Rails

by Robert F. Padilla
(Yucaipa, CA.)

San Bernardino to L.A.
The metrolink moves

between the two towns
different cities abound

some cities are clean
they’re bright
and they shine

others are dirty.
They’re filthy.
There's crime!

L.A. to S.B. can be quite an experience
ride the rails,
it’s fun
from one depot,
to the next
