Big Truck Blues

Okay, so there was this Big Truck

on the Freeway, today

Mud flaps just a dancing,

like me ~ ~ ~ this way and that way

Favorite CD blasting

Suddenly and without warning

Mud flaps turned into eyelashes batting

tears away,

then I started crying too,

It was alarming

Asphalt turned all blurry,

yellow line disappeared

right there in front of my eyes

What brought this on I said to my weary self,

this old heart aching?

I should a been braking

I could a been dead,

if I hadn’t taken the off ramp,

home

where I should a been all along

instead a dancing

on the Freeway,

alone
