Switchman's Lament
It may be the depths of winter, but Gemini is rising, and I find myself a man of two minds. I could do the right thing and walk the narrow path of good, or I could fly straight off the rails and go for everything that's not nailed down, in double. The only thing the left and right sides of my mind can agree upon is the music.
2 hours of it, ready for boarding and pulling out as soon as you click on that Guilloteens 45 just below. Drop the blade and join the party, as Charles-Henri Sanson would say.
