Transport of the mails, transport of the human voice, transport of flickering pictures-in this century as in others our highest accomplishments still have the single aim of bringing men together.

A transport one cannot contain

A transport one cannot contain
May yet a transport be—
Though God forbid it lift the lid—
Unto its Ecstasy!
A Diagram—of Rapture!
A sixpence at a Show—
With Holy Ghosts in Cages!
The Universe would go!

Camels And Donkeys
Camels have played their parts in the desert banks,
For the human traffic had been moblised with the help of the camels;
And of many years gone by on the desert rods to transport itwms,
With casting shadows on thier various tracks as they move along.
Now or never,
Mankind had made used of the camels for long!
And like a camel ride at the tourist centres in Egypt,
So be my guest on the desert zones of Africa! !
I have never seen anything like this before,
But with their fellow mates as the donkeys to help them along at times;
For the monkeys at your homes are always ready to play!
Camels and donkeys,
Used from old and to the present time;
And like a picturesque speech to evaluate yourself,
But long in a queue from sunrise to sunset as they move along with heavy loads! !
Camels and donkeys,
Feed them enough and they will do their works;
For the load carriers have nothing to say,
And they are the best animals around to help transport heavy loads along the desert routes.

Your kiss
Your kiss is a rush of oxygen
That always leaves me smitten
Your kiss is a hot air balloon
A helium bubble all-embracing, cocoon
Your kiss is the air and sky
Taking me on midnight trains to Shanghai.
Your kiss is a forest fire
A wave I'm riding in a heavenly gyre
Your kiss is a galactic vortex
In which no other magical sorcery, can hex!
Your kiss is a world removed:
Darling - who cares even if myriads disapproved?
Your kisses are like krill in their minions inhale
And like the sperm whale I discover my holy grail
Your kisses transport me!
Into a fairy tale regale top and tale.
Your kisses transport me!
Like sunshine in morning I'm dissolving…
I am found!
I am found! !
I am found! ! !

Then in Return, let Verse your Soul rejoice,
Wise, as your Converse, rapt'rous, as your Voice.

Middletown Dreams
Words by neil peart, music by geddy lee and alex lifeson
The office door closed early
The hidden bottle came out
The salesman turned to close the blinds
A little slow now, a little stout
But hes still heading down those tracks
Any day now for sure
Another day as drab as today
Is more than a man can endure
Dreams flow across the heartland
Feeding on the fires
Dreams transport desires
Drive you when youre down --
Dreams transport the ones
Who need to get out of town
The boy walks with his best friend
Through the fields of early may
They walk awhile in silence
One close -- one far away
But hed be climbing on that bus
Just him and his guitar
To blaze across the heavens
Like a brilliant shooting star
The middle-aged madonna
Calls her neighbour on the phone
Day by day the seasons pass
And leave her life alone
But shell go walking out that door
On some bright afternoon
To go and paint big cities
From a lonely attic room
Its understood
By every single person
Whod be elsewhere if they could
So far so good
And lifes not unpleasant
In their little neighbourhood
They dream in middletown...

Buses (Fun Poem 42)
When they told me
not to use my car for a month.
I smiled and thought,
a blessing in disguise,
but now I’m not so sure.
Walking a couple of miles each day
to get from point A to B,
that is not all that bad.
For longer journeys
I had to use Public Transport.
This is where that blessing
turned into a nightmare in disguise.
You can wait at a bus stop
for an hour or more,
then some bright spark will tell you,
the buses don’t run this way anymore.
Finally you find a bus stop
that the buses do use.
There you wait and wait.
Then you see your bus coming along,
your smile quickly turns to a frown,
for there in the destination window
at the front of the bus,
a little sign that reads.
BUS NOT IN SERVICE.
Bus not in service?
When are they ever in service?
They are always running late,
sometimes never at all.
Then one will come along,
that is over crowed,
and still you can’t get on.
All the time the Government
keep plugging away,
use Public Transport,
for it is greener.
They got that right for a change.
They put the buses out to pasture,
leave them for a while,
so they can chew on the cud.
Only to let them out
to milk the customers dry.

The Walking Foot Pen, The Spreading Legs Of Paper
and why should the pen keep walking
and the paper keep expanding? why should they
all become human, soft and fragile,
and too accommodating for all these
restlessness of the spirit?
they are our friends, all these poems
they are our circle of acquaintances
passengers all, waiting on the train station
for another transport,
to where? that is the surprise
today.

Such Is Snow
Such is the snow
so white that it burns your hands
your burnt white hands in a shroud
a silver shawl for witches
while wizards dance:
they like all kinds of dancing
if flakes keep silently falling
making them scream loud screams
of joy as wild as nature
They keep dancing so silently
like furtive terrorists
disturbing traffic& all kinds of transport
Such is snow: its anti-social behaviour
will not be punished
children's merriness will not be punished
While white witches burn
And dark wizards scream:
a silver coffin for automobiles
disturbing traffic& all kinds of transport
but using your feet under a sky
suddenly turned our accomplice
