yep, I see me ... sitting there under that little plastic tent ... oh, here comes the train again ... it's not easy jumping up off the ground on my creaky old bones, but I'll do it ... again ... wave, wave ... flashlight, blink, blink ... yell, yell ... ... no, I don't think they heard me ... their engine is a lot bigger and louder than my puny voice ... they didn't see us ... they're focused on something way far in the distance, in another country, I guess... ... and my wee flashlight's getting dim ... my batteries are running out .... ... biiiiig sigh ..... I hope there isn't a huge crash up ahead ... ... I tried to get them to notice, to hear us ... I really tried ...sob ...
