Poem
In my eighteen wheeler rolling, I am like a salmon fish in the rapids shoaling! Spawn’s flowing next generation’s showing! Black smoke a rolling from smoke stack. I am laid back, I don’t snort crack, I take time to stop and get some java black, and hit sleeper sack! I don’t let my mind get out of whack! Even my cb handle is, ‘Laid Back’, I acquired the name way back, in driving school, I live good life jack! “Laid Back”, my cb handle on the radio, and my 460 Cummins an’t slow, she’ll blow and go, she climbs Cabbage mountain in a snow, “good buddy, come back!” I hear drama queen, playing her scene, on cb radio, her sultry voice saying, “I am Back!” Inviting me to stop at a TA travel stop, telling me what all kind of food they got, I tell her I am already late, can’t stop!” Been there, done that, all they got is slop! Again I hear drama queen, cussing a stream, saying, "you’re the lying-est S.O.B. I’ve ever seen." But I am not mean, I just don’t make this type scene. I pull over on shoulder to miss lost tire tread called an alligator, as a 40 pound possum, runs under my trailer, meeting his alter meta. A beautiful dream, the trucker scene, all the world I mean! I’ve not been mean, I am laid back. And I don’t let my mind get off track! Don’t smoke dope! Don’t get on that slope! I am laid back! I stay on track! I am Love, I live, that’s what I give. So if you want to live, Love is what you give. To live laid back, you must stay on track. And out of drama queen’s sack. For she has that knack, to draw you back, into a life of your mind that’s cracked, a life minus Agape fact. It’s time for humanity to pull over and rest, from a mind of fest. This trucker wishes you all the best, be Love’s guest. For of a mind of fest, your life can become a mess. Be laid back, keep your mind on a reality of Love’s fact! I am drew back ,“I am Laid Back!” Placed #4
