Split an apple turnover
with a southern trucker
right ‘round the time werealized
I had left all my cash
in Milwaukee.
Wakingin North Platte
disappointedI didn’t sleep
allthe way through Nebraska.
Lunch in the mountains. Brian,
behind the counter asks,
“What’ll you have,
you douche?”
Coloradobegins slowly, carried
throughby the memories of
theworld’s largest truck stop
andcat shirts.
