The Maybe Words

the maybe words arrive
in the dark tunnel of the mind
a sudden train of thought
shocks your sleep station
the doors thrown wide open
words tumble from bright-lit carriages
people late for work

are any meant for you
as they quickly depart
dropping their spent tickets
maybe a few friendly faces

but will they keep you company till morning
will you ever see or hear of them again –

maybe, maybe not
