"The Stranger on a Train" (Regards to Patricia Highsmith)

The Victories of the throngs
Shadows a Stranger on a train;
And that Stranger on that train
Is the new Messiah,
The Second Coming;
But none but the mad
Saw his Coming, thus
He stayed that 'Stranger on a Train' -
A cult-class compartmentalised sacrificial lamb,
That's what he was, and that's all he can.
"If they cannot see me,
If they cannot read my expressions,
Why, Father, must it be?
Why not create me to be a Doctor of Medicine,
And then I will follow in my Father's Footsteps!"
