Poem
Military boots grip the pavement, hair in a Sarah Connor ponytail Got her sunglasses on at midnight, waiting patiently for the right ride to stop And swing open an invitation to rest her road wary bones From the bend of the elbow, to the cut leather gloved hand waving a five finger salute With a Rambo blade strapped to the thigh of her shredded, faded blue jeans, she has no hesitation riding shotgun with a human unknown Inside her deerskin vest, she holsters a Beretta 9-mil Trained as a sniper ... shoot to kill Speaking politely to the stranger, she tersely says: “keep your hands off the merchandise, and keep your eyes on the road And please, don’t make me have to say it twice ... I'm saying this once, and I'm saying it nice" With a nod of understanding, they both settle in for the long haul The ten thousand raven-strand beauty says she’s going halfway to wherever the occupant’s destination is She remarks with a wry smile: “tonight ain’t such a bad day to live” The driver assesses the situation, and glumly decides that tonight ain’t a good day to die So the hitchhiker exits from the vehicle, thanks the stranger for the rest and the ride After getting a bath, a meal and a good night sleep from the local comfort environs; she packs her gear, it’s time to be on the move again There’s always someplace that can use her unique skills Heading back to the edge of the road, with no particular place in mind to go ... just stay on the eagle fly Wing it on the sky dive Hitchhiker, free and windblown — With storm cloud eyes thunder bursting, she only focuses on which car to next parachute in
