Riding the Rails
You notice the men hanging around the railroad tracks. Idle men, just hanging around town—that's something new. They watch the trains intently, wondering where they're going; wondering if things are better there. You daydream, for just a minute, that you could jump that train and end up somewhere with a great job making lots of money that you could send home to save your family. You know some guys who have tried it, but no one's struck it rich that you know of. But if you went, at least that would be one less mouth to feed.
