Railroad
Blessing - Sam Payne |
| A
spin of Sam Payne's "Railroad Blessing" is like walking into a party--everyone
stops to look, all itching to talk to you (it's why they came, after
all). It's quite a crew, too. And with a menu like this, who's gonna
be first? There's an American astronaut, fresh from five months aboard
the doomed Space Station Mir. Space was great, but it's lonely up there.
There's Erik Weihenmayer, the first blind climber to summit Everest.
Some think that sort of a climb is something like marriage. Other's
think it's more like rehab. Or what about that old guy in the corner?
His son is suiting up for war. Dad's a patriot, but he prays that the
country won't squander that young life. It's the biggest gift the old
man can give, after all. The girl by the window was just given the
brush-off by a guy in the woods who used the old "I'd marry you but
I've actually been raised from a baby to be a sacrifice to Mother Earth
to ensure a bountiful harvest" line. She's thinking about going back
to him anyway. Those two talking in solemn tones at the table are twins.
Used to hate each other. Their names are Jacob and Esau. There's a
table full of priests, frowning as they watch a rocket take off on
television. In the center of the room is a coffin, inhabited by a guy
who slid so quietly out of this life that a lot of people didn't notice.
Not like him to miss a gathering like this. |
