Migration of Tractors

Migration of Tractors
David J Walker

I remember the migration 
of tractors

From farm to farm and 
field to filed

Other traffic must yield 
to the slow-moving behemoth  

in John Deere Green 
the farm boy driving it was 

no more than 13 on a
Saturday when the other boys

Were doing the same thing 
With large clanking implements 

In tow
And the 13 year old drivers

Knew the way to go 
Where their fathers 

Were waiting in 
Beat up old pickup trucks

I remember the migration 
Of farm boys to larger

Towns
	Vowing never
To return
