Cossack

In the world of Thomas the Tank Engine,

the late D.T. and his Tommy Gun

a train pulls slow into the station.

He wears hard leather and carries

a soaked and crusted feather

that drips oil and smells of distillation.

He thought himself the better

for being a cossack and competitor.

Author's Note

This one is a bit deeper than it looks, but has never been as friendly to the reader as I'd like.
