TRUCKERS

Cross-country cowboys,
Follow the white lines,
Big hearts,
Melt like butter,
Lingo all their own,
Travel in pairs,
Sleep,
Drive,
Drive,
Sleep,
Make deliveries coast to coast,
Twenty-four-hour rolling machines

WEAVE AND PASS

He's got the hots to pass,
Peddle to the metal,
Addicted to speed?
Need to pee?
Got a hot date?
Won't matter,
When he's wrapped around a tree

EASTER EGGS

Children in their Easter finery,
Carrying baskets,
Hunting colored orbs,
Three-thousand years of patriarchy,
Horrified parents,
Would hustle them inside,
If they knew,
For thirty-thousand years prior,
Eggs symbolized the Divine Feminine,
The Goddess,
Rebirth,
Regeneration,
Instead of a dead man resurrected from a cross

EASTER SUNDAY

In his seventies,
Cruising in a snazzy, black Corvette,
Top off,
Silver mane blowing,
Christ has risen.

AMERICAN PRIDE

Mobile Home,
Big Sucker,
Cranked up to 80,
Bet it gets 3 miles a gallon,
Cost at least half a mill,
Could have educated lots of kids

TRUCK STOP

IRON SKILLET,
Time to eat,
Trucker hustling waitress,
Bullshit thick,
His eyes undressing her,
The primal monkey dance

THE NIGHT

Reflectors,
Lights,
Highway Ribbons,
Stripes,
Solids,
Beckon me,
Solitude on wheels
