    The poem is addressed to the poet's special someone. It uses the metaphor of the heart as a train station to describe their mental state. When the light, or sanity, left them it was dragged down the steps of their ribs by rusted chains. The poet, as a child, was left with the key to look after their mental state and keep their predetermined schedules running on time from morning to night.

    Station Manager

    BY:CATHERINE VALDEZ
    Station Manger
    I was old enough to know
    that your heart was a train station,
    that the doors to your sanity
    were hanging on their hinges.
    There was an absence of light when
    the last of it left down the stony steps
    of your ribs, dragging rusted chains
    over the entrance
    And I was there in the stark
    mornings with the key, just a child
    with a swaying lantern and the knowledge
    of picking locks.
    In those early years,
    you told me I was the keeper of that place.
    I was the one to make those predetermined
    schedules run on time - and billow into the nighttime
