for henry

in a part of the city where the streets not of particular interest to tourists, i saw what looked very much to me like a steam engine over the top of a high fence. i walked around to a field of old cars for sale and there these were, parked on the remains of rails. nobody i talked to had any idea what they were doing there and, i thought, might have been surprised at my interest. this is a city of ravaged vehicles and structures. why would these attract attention? these are for henry.
